My mother always said to me, "Be honest to yourself
And always be the best that you can be
Never let life pass you by", was her philosophy
But I never saw the tears she criedYou can't stop the rain falling
Stop the rain falling
Can't stop the rain falling
Stop the rain falling downThere comes a time when every boy
Grows up to be himself
Always searching for the perfect plan
To define his rite of passage, his responsibility
So he can do the best he canBut you can't stop the rain falling
Stop the rain falling
Can't stop the rain falling
Stop the rain falling downIf we knew what we know now, we'd probably change
How we've handled humanity
So we have to believe we have come to our senses
In truth and sincerityYou can't stop the rain falling
Stop the rain falling
Can't stop the rain falling
Stop the rain falling
You can't stop the rain falling down
