Some say it's wrong, some say it's right
Some say it's politicians playing both sides
Some say it's greed, some say it's change
Some say it's all just the price we'll have to pay
And I feel a storm coming in
And I see the earth bending in the wind
It's gonna rain, yeah
Wash it all away, yeah
And it ain't gonna stop
No, it ain't gonna stop
For forty days
Some say it's fate, some say it's chance
Some say it's the blood of our fathers on our hands
Some say it's a lie, some say it's the truth
Some say it's all coming down on me and you
And I see a fire in the sky
And I hear the thunder out on the edge of night
It's gonna rain, yeah
Wash it all away, yeah
And it ain't gonna stop
No, it ain't gonna stop
For forty days
Some say the stars will fall down from heaven
Some say the angels will cry and ask us why
It's gonna rain—
Yeah
It's gonna rain
Oh, it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain, rain, rain, rain, yeah
Wash it all away
(it's gonna rain) for forty days
(it's gonna rain) for forty days
(it's gonna rain) for forty days
(it's gonna rain) for forty days
(it's gonna rain)
(it's gonna rain)
(it's gonna rain)
(it's gonna rain)...
