Denver...
chicago...
It's such a long, long train ride
it's such a long lonely ride back home
(now i know, only i can stop the rain)
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 nothin but being 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 worrying about coming 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 words that you can see cause...
Now i know, only i can stop the rain
We get away wit every day shit
but every day shit catches up to you
when it does you can't say shit
Now i know, only i can stop the rain
If i don't, you will
what i won't, you still
what makes us feel like we gots to kill when
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 for some slick shit
Now i know, only i can stop the rain
i don't have to talk to it anymore
i don't have to walk to it anymore
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 piece of 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
i thank you lord for keeping the deuce 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
(yea)
Now i know, only i can stop the rain
Only i can stop the rain, stop the rain
(yea, what)
Now i know, only i can stop the rain
(spoken) only i, can stop, the rain
(spoken) only i can stop the rain cause the rain falls on me
Now i know, only i can stop the rain
(spoken) only i can stop the rain... i'm out...
