Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for sometime
When it's over so they say
It will rain a sunny day
I know shinin' down like water
I wanna know,
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
And forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow
I know, it can't stop I wonder
I wanna know,
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
I wanna know,
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Left a good job in the city
Working for The Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
