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
