My mother always said to me
"Be honest to yourself"
And always be the best that you can be
"Never let life pass you by"
Was her philosophy
But I never saw the tears she cried
You can't stop the rain fallin'
Stop the rain fallin'
Can't stop the rain fallin'
Stop the rain fallin' down
There comes a time when every boy
Grows up to be himself
Always searching for the perfect plan
To define his rite of passage, his responsibility
So he can do the best he can
But you can't stop the rain fallin'
Stop the rain fallin'
Can't stop the rain fallin'
Stop the rain fallin' down
If we knew what we know now, we'd probably change
How we've handled humanity
So we have to believe we have come to our senses
In truth and sincerity
You can't stop the rain fallin'
Stop the rain fallin'
Can't stop the rain fallin'
Stop the rain fallin'
You can't stop the rain fallin' down
