I swear they never understood us I swear they never will But we won't ever give in we'll never quit And 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 quit We 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 rain They 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 storm You 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 rain Oh but I know that you won't let me go You 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
