[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] But when I get that foggy feeling When I'm a 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 Ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain Oh no, I'm no stranger to the rain
