Long as I remember the rain [bad word]  down 
Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground. 
Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun. 
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain. 

I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm 
Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow 
Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains. 
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain. 

Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more. 
The crowd [bad word] together tryin' to keep warm. 
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears 
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.
