Verse 1 Rain taps softly on my window, Coffee warming weathered hands. Every drop has crossed the ages, Fallen on forgotten lands. Makes me wonder who stood listening, What they feared and what they knew... How one rainy afternoon Could change the world for me and you. Verse 2 Did Noah stop before the downpour, When the first drops kissed the dust? Did the laughter slowly vanish, As surprise replaced their trust? Did he whisper to his family, "Now the waiting time is through..." While the sky they thought they knew forever Became something strange and new. Chorus Every drop remembers, Every heart, every name. Different years and different faces, Still we're standing in the rain. Time keeps turning like the rivers, While the clouds remain the same. Maybe history's greatest witness Has always been the rain. Verse 3 When they mourned old Abraham Lincoln, Did umbrellas line the way? Did the rain hide tears from strangers On that long and solemn day? Did they wonder through their sorrow How the nation would pull through? Or did the rain keep softly falling, Like it somehow always knew? Chorus Every drop remembers, Every heart, every name. Different years and different faces, Still we're standing in the rain. Time keeps turning like the rivers, While the clouds remain the same. Maybe history's greatest witness Has always been the rain. Verse 4 On D-Day, before the landing, Did they pause to watch the rain? Did they think of home that morning, Or wonder who'd remain? Were there trembling hands on rifles, Letters folded in their coats? Did the rain drown out their heartbeats, Or the prayers caught in their throats? Bridge The day they laid Dr. King low, Did the heavens start to cry? Did the rain fall with the people, Or simply from the sky? Did they wonder through the heartache If the dream would still ring true? Maybe every storm remembers... And still carries hope anew. Final Chorus Every drop remembers, Every heart, every name. Different years and different faces, Still we're standing in the rain. Now I hear it on my window, Just like all those years ago. Maybe history's greatest witness Is the rain we'll never know.
