Some people I know have given up on their lives   Drowning their sorrows, and mumblin', and forgot the fight   We can tip the balance we can break those barriers down   Little things count as much as the big and turn it all around      And it's oh, don't always look at the rain   No, don't look at the rain      Some people I know have lost their feel for mystery   They say everything has got to be proved, this isn't a nursery   And joseph who's five years old, stops fights in his playground yard   No more fights and bigotry, oh is it so hard      And it's oh, don't always look at the rain   No, don't always look at the rain   Ha, don't always look at the rain      And tell me, is it a crime to have an ideal or two   Evolving takes it's time, we can't do it all in one go   Doesn't have to drive us all mad, we can only do our best   Let the mind shut up, and the heart do the rest
