There's no rose without a thorn

No rain without a storm

There is no laughter without tears

No wisdom without years

In a world gone crazy

Torn between the roads that we must choose

Win or lose

If every soul should lose its way

If every face should lose its name

Tell me - who's gonna stop the rain?



Each day another boy and girl

Set foot into this world

One reaches out to touch the sky

One never learns to fly

Where is it written in the stone

That any child should walk alone

Out on their own?

If no one tries to end this game

Or find a way to ease the pain

Tell me - who's gonna stop the rain>?



How many rivers must we cross before we learn

That the flood is rising higher and our bridges all have burnt

Each time another dream is washed out to the sea

It's another piece of you, it's another piece of me



Sure as the blood runs through your veins

Sure as the falling rain

We'll taste the tears of each defeat

The bitter and the sweet

As the days grow colder

Wondering if we'll ever see the sun

When winter comes

If no one stands to take the weight

If no one answers to the blame

Tell me who's gonna stop the rain



If every soul should lose its way

If every face should lose its name

If no one tries to end this game

Or find a way to ease the pain

Who's gonna stop the rain

If no one stands to take the weight

If no one answers to the blame

Tell me who's gonna stop the rain
