  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
  [singing] 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
  [singing] 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
  [singing] 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
  [singing] 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!
  [singing] 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?
  [singing] 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?
  [singing] 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
  [singing] 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 [SLAM]
  [singing] 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
  [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
  When every day of my life
  Is a constant fight between wrong and right
  [singing] 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
  [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
  Only I can stop the rain
  Only I can stop the pain, yeahh

  Only I can stop the rain, cause the rain falls on me
