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 findin' shelter in a down pour
I've been sacrificed by brothers crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

When I get that foggy feelin' what I'm feelin' now
If I don't keep my head I may drown
But it's hard to keep believin' I'll even come out even
While the rain beats a hole in the ground
And tonight it's really comin' down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow and I'll beg steal or borrow a little sunshine
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
[ guitar - piano - steel ] 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
