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 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, and it can"t stop, I wonder.

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.
