Say an old man with a cane, his hair was silver-grey
Used to have good friends, now he misses them
Winter comes to every life, 'cause springtimes have to fade
Seasons have to change, it is nature's way
No one promises us a lifetime without pain
Heard the old man say, >It's just a rainy dayHe knows this to will pass and joy will come again
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow
CHORUS:
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Saw a man with a dream of wealth and everything it brings
He heard the Shepherd call, so he left it all
Sometimes a careless work can leave a hollow ring
But he follows on, soon the doubt is gone
CHORUS
No one has promised a lifetime without pain
Heard the old man say, >It's just a rainy dayHe knows this too will pass and joy will come again
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow
