Some people I know have given up on their lives Drowning their sorrows, and mumblin', and forgot the fight We can tip the balance we can break those barriers down Little things count as much as the big and turn it all around And it's oh, don't always look at the rain No, don't look at the rain Some people I know have lost their feel for mystery They say everything has got to be proved, this isn't a nursery And Joseph who's five years old, stops fights in his playground yard No more fights and bigotry, oh is it so hard And it's oh, don't always look at the rain No, don't always look at the rain Ha, don't always look at the rain And tell me, is it a crime to have an ideal or two Evolving takes it's time, we can't do it all in one go Doesn't have to drive us all mad, we can only do our best Let the mind shut up, and the heart do the rest
