Next stop, Chicago
It's such a long, long train ride
Such a long lonely ride back home

Now I know only I can stop the rain
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
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 nothing but being true, but
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 twenty years everyday it is (what)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I wanna be able to walk out my front door
Without worrying about comin' in conflict with the law, 'cause
Now I know only I can stop the rain
If I follow him, they'll follow me (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, what)
And I'll speak life into the words that you can see, 'cause
Now I know only I can stop the rain (come on)
We get away with everyday shit (uh)
But everyday shit catches up to you
And when it does, you can't say shit
Now I know only I can stop the rain
If I don't, you will
What I won't, you still
What makes us feel like we gots to kill, when
Now I know only I can stop the rain
How many more lives must we lose?
How many more times must we choose
To trust these fools?
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 for some slick shit (what, what, uh)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I don't have to talk to it anymore
I don't have to walk to it anymore
I'm out the door (what)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I wanna find peace with the Lord (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
I don't wanna find a beast with the sword
I can't afford to
Now I know only I can stop the rain
When everyday of my life is a constant fight between wrong and right (what)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I thank you Lord for my life
Thank you Lord for keeping it loose when things got tight
Now I know only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the pain, yeah
Now I know only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain, stop the rain (what)
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain because the rain falls on me
Now I know only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
I'm out
