Rain

[Intro: John Legend] The wind against my face, tells me that I must go Can't stay around too long before my tracks gonna catch me When they do, I've got to be somewhere in LA So I can look at the sun and get my thinking done And if it's gonna rain tomorrow, let it rain [Verse 1: John Legend] The last note I sang was in Beaver Falls, PA At some old and shabby bar, I never knew the name But I knew I couldn't work there, 'cause to follow my dreams They tell me find that place, find that place [Hook: John Legend] And if it's gonna rain tomorrow, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain [Verse 2: John Legend] Deep in my destination, trying to find my destination With LA so far away and I'm soaking cold today Constantly it's on my mind I'm only halfway there, I'm not caring how much frustration Oh, I've got to cross this nation [Hook: John Legend] And if it's gonna rain tomorrow, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain [Verse 3: Common] As the rain falls down from the heavens Think of how far I came since '87 Took my hustle and made it a weapon I was always told "in the pain there's a blessing" Mistakes that I made, they mirrored the lessons Talking with God, I asked clearer questions Dear Lord, is this what I'm destined for? If so? Then what am I stressing for? We tight, then why can't I let it go? Everything gon' be alright, it's more than a metaphor Let it rain cause it's ancestral Cleanse my heart so they can see the best in you Let it rain and come down visceral For those no longer here in the physical Let it rain cause it's like tears from you Just like the rain, I'll do what I'm here to do Let it rain, I know that it's purposeful So it can service you and return to you Let it rain, let the rain surround me And never drown me, I was lost when it found me Now in a dream is where I'll be Imperial reign came down to crown me Now in a dream is where I'll be Imperial reign came down to crown me Imperial reign came down to crown me Now in a dream, a dream is where I'll be [Hook: John Legend] And if it's gonna rain tomorrow, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain
