Saw 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 spring-times have to fade
Seasons have to change, it is nature's way
No one has promised us a lifetime without pain
Heard the old man say, "It's just a rainy day"
He knows this too 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 word can leave a hollow ring
But he follows on, soon the doubt is gone
Chorus
No one has promised us a lifetime without pain
Heard the old man say, "It's just a rainy day"
He knows this too will pass and joy will come again
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow
Chorus
