[singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 Uh.. uh.. uh, uh, uh
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 It's not that we gotta do what we do
 It's what we know, so to me it ain't nuttin but bein [bad word] but
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 It doesn't have to be the way it is, you say it is
 Just because for the past 20 years, every day it is
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 I wanna be able to walk out my front door
 Without worryin [bad word] in conflict with the law, cause
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 If I follow Him, they'll follow me
 And I'll speak life into the word that you can see
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 We get away with everyday [bad word]  but everyday [bad word]  catches up to you and when it does you can't say [bad word] 
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 If I don't, you will, when I won't, you steal
 What makes it feel like we gots to kill?
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 How many more lives must we lose?
 How many more times must we choose to [bad word] these fools?
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 If it ain't broke, don't fix it
 I gave it to you straight don't mix it twist it up on some slick [bad word]  [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 I don't have to talk to it any more
 I don't have to walk to it any more, I'm out the door [SLAM]
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 I wanna find peace with the Lord
 I don't wanna find a beast with the sword, I can't afford to
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 When every day of my life
 Is a constant fight between wrong and right
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 I thank you Lord for my life
 Thank you Lord for keepin it loose when things got tight
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 Only I can stop the rain
 Only I can stop the pain, yeahh
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 Only I can stop, the rain, stop, the rain, yeahh - WHAT?

 Only I can stop the rain, cause the rain falls on me
 [singing] Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
 Only I can stop the rain
