[Verse 1]

Brother, always reaching far too high

But I can see the tragic side, and it is not easy

And brother you won't let anybody help

Why do you sacrifice yourself?

You can't go on this way

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me why, oh why?

Why don't you open up your heart?

Let the light from inside

Show us who you are

[Chorus]

And when it looks like rain

And when the dark clouds fill your sky

There is no good reason why

You've got to feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's going to shine

Even when it looks like rain

[Verse 2]

Hey sister, another story must be told

Just count the blessings you still hold

What's done is done

Hey sister, you can find the one you need

Don't have to live the life you lead

Don't be the lonely one

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me why, oh why?

Why don't you open up your heart?

Let the light from inside

Show us who you are

[Chorus]

And when it looks like rain

And when the dark clouds fill your sky

There is no good reason why

You've got to feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's going to shine, ooh

Don't get down and don't get washed away, ooh

Just remind yourself every day

[Outro]

That into each life

A little rain must fall

So let it rain

Rain, ooh

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's going to shine

Even when it looks like rain

Rain, rain, rain

When it looks like rain
