The Rain

Now I know, only I, can stop the rain

Uh.. uh.. uh, uh, uh

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 nuttin but bein 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 20 years, every day it is

Now I know, only I, can stop the rain

I wanna be able to walk out my front door

Without worryin about comin 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 word that you can see

Now I know, only I, can stop the rain

We get away with everyday shit, but everyday shit

catches up to you and 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 steal

What makes it feel like we gots to kill?

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 on some slick shit

Now I know, only I, can stop the rain

I don't have to talk to it any more

I don't have to walk to it any more, I'm out the door Now I know, only I, can stop the rain

I wanna find peace with the Lord

I don't wanna find a beast with the 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

Thank you Lord for keepin 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, yeahh

Now I know, only I, can stop the rain

Only I can stop, the rain, stop, the rain, yeahh - WHAT?

... GRRRR, only I (only I) can stop (can stop) the rain (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
