There is no rose without
a thorn, no rain without
the storm
There is no laughter
without tears, no wisdom
without years
In a world gone crazy
torn between the roads
that we must choose
Win or lose if every
soul should lose it's way
If every face should
lose it's name
Tell me who's gonna stop
the rain?
Each day another boy and
girl sets foot into this
world
One reaches out to touch
the sky, one never
learns to fly
Where is it written in
the stone that any child
should walk alone out on
their own?
If no one tries to end
this game or find a way
to ease the pain
Tell me who's gonna stop
the rain?
Who's gonna stop the
rain?
I said, who's gonna stop
the rain?
Hey, hey, yeah
How many rivers must we
cross before we learn
That the flood is rising
high and the bridges all
have burned
Each time another dream
is washed into the sea
It's another piece of you
It's another piece of me
Oh yeah
Sure as the blood runs
through your veins
Sure as the falling
rain, oh yeah
We'll taste the tears of
each defeat
The bitter and the
sweet, yeah, oh yeah
As the days grow colder
wonder if we'll ever see
the sun when winter
comes, yeah
If no one stands to take
the weight, if no one
answers to the blame
Tell me who's gonna stop
the rain?
Who's gonna stop the
rain?
If every soul should
lose it's way
If every face should
lose it's name
If no one tries to end
this game
Or find a way to ease
the pain
Who's gonna stop the
rain?
If no one stands to take
the weight
If no one answers to the
blame
Tell me who's gonna stop?
Who's gonna stop... the
rain?
Who's gonna stop the
rain?
