The sky looks dark today
It hasn't rained for a couple of weeks
I hope it pours and revives my soul
Cuz I just want to go outside and play
'Cause sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To make the sun come shining
Sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To put your troubles in the past
To forget the pain (pain)
That the sun has brought you
Sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To be able to laugh
The desert is such a brutal place
The sun beats down and cracks the earth
Little life can withstand the heat
But then the rain shows it's smiling face
Sometimes change can be scary
You never know what's to come
But sometimes if you stay out too long
You may get burned by the sun
'Cause sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To make the sun come shining
Sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To put your troubles in the past
To forget the pain (pain)
That the sun has brought you
Sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To be able to laugh
Yeah sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To make the sun come shining
Sometimes you need the rain (rain)
put your troubles in the past
To forget the pain (pain)
That the sun has brought you
Sometimes you need the rain (rain)
To be able to laugh
