[Verse 1]
Ever since there was thunder
There's been shelter from the storm
A place to run for cover
'Til the rain clouds had moved on
Now when I get that feelin'
Before the first drop hits the ground
I'm askin', "Who's gonna stop the rain from fallin' down?"

[Verse 2]
Wherever there's a soldier
Who won't give up the fight
Wherever there's a darkness
That's tryin' to find the light
Wherever there is hurtin'
There's healing on the way
Like sunshine breakin' through a cloudy day

[Chorus]
Let it rain, let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Who's gonna stop the rain from fallin' down?

[Verse 3]
Maybe someday, eyes won't judge you
By the bed you're sleepin' in
The God you wanna pray to
Or the color of your skin
When priests and politicians
Tell the truth and nothin' more
That day, we'll know what all of this was for
[Chorus]
Let it rain, let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Who's gonna stop the rain from fallin' down?

[Bridge]
These ain't pretty pictures that we're keepin in the cloud
Outside, a storm is raging
Just take a look around

[Verse 4]
Somewhere, there's forgiveness
For the broken ones like me
Who once stared down mighty mountains
And now sit beneath the trees
And somewhere, there's a church bell
That's summoning the choir
Somewhere, there's a dreamer
Who would walk a thousand miles
Somewhere, there's a dreamer
Who would walk a thousand miles

[Chorus]
Let it rain, let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Who's gonna stop the rain from fallin'?
If you're out there, Christ, I'm calling
Who's gonna stop the rain from fallin' down?
