Next stop, Chicago. Such a long, long train ride. Such a long, long ride. Now I know what we are, it's time to leave. But 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 nothin' but bein' 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 every day it is. But now I know, only I can stop the rain. I wanna be able to walk out my front door without worryin' 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, and I'll speak life into the words that you can see. Cause now I know, only I can stop the rain. We get away with everyday shit, but everyday shit catches up to you, and when it does you can't say shit. Cause now I know, only I can stop the rain. If I don't you will, when I want you still, it makes us feel like we got to kill. Cause 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? Cause 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 shit. Cause 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. Cause now I know, only I can stop the rain. I wanna find peace with the Lord. I don't wanna find the peace with the sword. I can't afford to. Cause now I know, only I can stop the rain. When every day of my life is a constant fight between wrong and right. 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. 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.
