Someone told me long ago,  there's a calm before the storm,
I know, it's been comin' for some time.
When its 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, it cant stop me wonderin'

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?

Yeah
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?
