The Rain

Denver, Chicago

It's such a long, long train ride

Such a long lonely ride back home

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Now I know only I can stop the rain

It's not that we gotta do what we do

It's what we know so to me it ain't nothing but being true but

Now I know only I can stop the rain

It doesn't have to be the way it is you say it is

Just because for the past twenty years everyday it is

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I wanna be able to walk out my front door

Without worrying about coming in conflict with the law 'cause

Now I know only I can stop the rain

If I follow him they'll follow me

And I'll speak life into the words that you can see 'cause

Now I know only I can stop the rain

We get away with every day shit

But every day shit catches up to you

When it does you can't say shit

Now I know only I can stop the rain

If I don't you will

When I won't you still

What makes us feel like we gots to kill when

Now I know only I can stop the rain

How many more lives must we lose

How many more times must we choose to trust these fools

Now I know only I can stop the rain

If it ain't broke don't fix it

I gave it to you straight don't mix it

Twist it up for some slick shit

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I don't have to talk to it anymore

I don't have to walk to it anymore I'm out the door

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I wanna find peace with the lord

I don't want to find a piece with a sword I can't afford to

Now I know only I can stop the rain

When every day of my life

Is a constant fight between wrong and right

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I thank you Lord for my life

I thank you Lord for keeping it loose when things got tight

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the pain, yeah

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain, stop the rain, yeah

Only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain 'cause the rain falls on me

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain
