I swear they never understood us
I swear they never will
But we won't ever give in we'll never quitand even after all that we've been through
even after what those people said
even when they tried to convince us
to give up and quitwe said hold the rain
so I can find my way back home
Jesus hold the rain
so I can find my way to you
hold the rainthey say if the storm keeps coming
and if the water keeps rising
and if the levee starts caving
then we're sure to quit
Oh but I know that you won't let me go
Lord I know you'll keep me from this stormyou will hold the rain
so I can find my way back home
Jesus hold the rain
so I can find my way to you
hold the rainoh but I know that you won't let me goyou will hold the rain
so I can find my way back home
oh Lord
won't you hold the rain
so I can find my way to you
so I can find my way back home
so I can find my way to you
