Someone told me long ago,
There's a calm before the storm.
I know, and it's been comin' for some time.

When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day.
I know, shinin' down like water.

I Wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I Wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know, been that way for all my time.

'Til forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow,
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder.

I Wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I Wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down sunny day?

I Wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I Wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down sunny day?
