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) ...
