2013年美国好声音 Have You Ever Seen the Rain - Kaleigh Glanton

Someone¹ told me long ago, there's a calm² before the storm³.

I know, and it's been comin' for some time.

When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day.

I know, shinin' down like water.

I want to know, have you ever⁴ seen⁵ the rain?

I want to 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.

'Til forever⁶ on it goes through the circle fast and slow,

I know, and it can't stop, I wonder⁷.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain

comin' down on a sunny day?
