I've seen the rain
And the people dying around
I've seen the rain
And the bodies scattered on the ground
And I've seen the people cry
When bombs burst in there eyes
I've seen the rain
That makes the people cry
I've seen the fear
That makes the people run
I've seen the fear
That makes em all carry there guns
And I've seen the people run wild
When they don't seem to know why
And I've seen the fear
That makes the people cry
I've seen the pain
That makes the mothers cry
And I've seen the pain
That has forced their young sons off to die
And I've seen families bury their dead
And they wonder why they had to die
And I've seen the pain
That makes the people cry
And I've seen the rain
That can wash away hate
And I've seen the rain
That can carry your souls to the gate
And I've seen that peace can overcome hate
And that we know just why
And I've seen the rain
That makes the people cry
