Long as I remember the rain been comin` down,
clouds of myst ry pourin` confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages tryin` to find the sun.
And I wonder, still I wonder who`ll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia seekin` shelter from the storm,
caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who`ll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin`, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together tryin` to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin`, fallin` on my ears
and I wonder, still I wonder who`ll stop the rain.
