Why do people run from the rain   Like they run from problems and pain   It’s only there to help you   You don’t need to be afraid   It’s only there to help you   Like a tree helps with its shade      Many times I’ve tried to find my way   Through the night I’ve tried to take the day   And I’ve often wondered why   There’s a night at all   And I’ve often wondered why   I sometimes feel so small      I guess there’s a time for the seasons   And millions of reasons for everything   And there’s a moment of glory   That’s hidden in times when children can’t sing   But when times are dark and men have to crawl   That’s just love building up to break down the wall   Won’t you give us a hand by giving up your fears   And crying just a few honest tears      America’s still waters have been stirred   Now many people are asking for the word   That would show them the way   To make her young again   Why don’t they understand   That the word lives on within them
