If you rise with the feeling
Your time is slipping away
And the prize that you've been chasing
Means less and less everyday
Searching for the way to go
Wondering why there's nothing to show
For all of your life
Understand
You won't stop the rain from falling
So why do you complain
(You complain)
'Cause you might not be seeing something
That's just an inch away
(Just an inch away)
Don't waste time believing that your
Luck won't turn around
(Turn around)
'Cause you won't stop the rain
From falling down
Now, if you suffer injustice
For no reason that you can see
Take your anger and try to use it
If it gets you where you wanna be
And with all the power in your mind
You can leave the bad days behind
And look for the sun
It's your turn
You won't stop the rain from falling
Though it might seem unkind
(Seem unkind)
And fortune's big conspiracy
It's only in your mind
(All in your mind)
You can cry and moan about it
And you can wear your frown
(Wear your frown)
But you won't stop the rain from falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Seaching for the way to go
Wonderin' why there's nothing to show
For all of your life
Understand
You won't stop the rain from falling
So why do you complain
(You complain)
You might not be seeing something
That's just an inch away
(Just an inch away)
Don't waste time believing that your
Luck won't turn around
(Turn around)
'Cause you won't stop the rain from falling down
From falling down
