I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder friend is it any wonder lightning strikes me I've fought with the devil got down on his level But I never gave in so he gave up on me I'm no stranger to the rain I can spot bad weather and I'm good at findin' shelter in a down pour I've been sacrificed by brothers crucified by lovers But through it all I withstood the pain I'm no stranger to the rain When I get that foggy feelin' what I'm feelin' now If I don't keep my head I may drown But it's hard to keep believin' I'll even come out even While the rain beats a hole in the ground And tonight it's really comin' down I'm no stranger to the rain But there'll always be tomorrow and I'll beg steal or borrow a little sunshine But I'll put this cloud behind me that's how the man designed me To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain Oh no I'm no stranger to the rain [ guitar - piano - steel ] I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder friend is it any wonder lightning strikes me But I'll put this cloud behind me that's how the man designed me To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain Oh no I'm no stranger to the rain
