I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me? I've fought with the Devil Got down on his level But I never gave in So he gave up on me I'm no stranger to the rain I can spot bad weather And I'm good at finding shelter In a downpour I've been sacrificed by brothers Crucified by lovers But through it all I withstood the pain I'm no stranger to the rain But when I get that foggy feeling When I'm feeling down If I don't keep my head up I may drown But it's hard to keep believing I'll even come out even While the rain beats your hope in the ground And tonight it's really coming down I'm no stranger to the rain But there'll always be tomorrow And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine And I'll put this cloud behind me That's how the Man designed me To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me? But I'll put this cloud behind me That's how the Man designed me To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
