Someone told me long ago 
There‘s a calm before the storm 
I know; 
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. 

CHORUS: 

I want to know 
Have you ever seen the rain? 
I want to know 
Have you ever seen the rain 
Comin‘ down on a 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; 
It can‘t stop, 
I wonder.
