Say an old man with a cane, his hair was silver-grey 
Used to have good friends, now he misses them 
Winter comes to every life, 'cause springtimes have to fade 
Seasons have to change, it is nature's way 
No one promises us a lifetime without pain 
Heard the old man say, >It's just a rainy day< 
He knows this to will pass and joy will come again 
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow 

CHORUS: 
Rain on, I will not drown 
I'm standing firm on higher ground 
Rain on, I will not drown 
I'm standing firm on higher ground 

Saw a man with a dream of wealth and everything it brings 
He heard the Shepherd call, so he left it all 
Sometimes a careless work can leave a hollow ring 
But he follows on, soon the doubt is gone 

CHORUS 

No one has promised a lifetime without pain 
Heard the old man say, >It's just a rainy day< 
He knows this too will pass and joy will come again 
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow 

CHORUS
