[Verse 1]
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm, I know
And it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day, I know
Shining down like water
[Chorus]
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
Ahhhhh
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
[Outro]
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm, I know
And it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day, I know
Shining down like water
[Chorus]
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
Ahhhhh
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
[Outro]
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
