Ever since there was thunder
Theres been shelter from the storm
A place to run for cover
Til the rain clouds had moved on
Now when I get that feeling
Before the first drop hits the ground
Im asking Whos gonna stop the rain from falling down?

Wherever theres a soldier
Who wont give up the fight
Wherever theres a darkness
Thats trying to find the light
Wherever there is hurting
There is healing on the way
Like sunshine breaking through a cloudy day

Let it rain let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Whos gonna stop the rain from falling down?

Maybe someday eyes wont judge you
By the bed youre sleeping in
The God you want to pray to
Or the color of your skin
When priests and politicians
Sell the truth and nothing more

That day well know what all of this was for

Let it rain let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Whos gonna stop the rain from falling down?

These aint pretty pictures that were keeping in the cloud
Outside a storm is raging
Just take a look around

Somewhere theres forgiveness
For the broken ones like me
Who once stared down mighty mountains
And now sit beneath the trees
And somewhere theres a church bell
Thats summoning the choir
Somewhere theres a dreamer
Who would walk a thousand miles
Somewhere theres a dreamer
Who would walk a thousand miles

Let it rain let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Whos gonna stop the rain from falling?
If youre out there Christ Im calling
Whos gonna stop the rain from falling down?
