Saw an old man with a cane, his hair was silver gray
Use to have good friends, now he misses them
Winter comes to every life, 'cause spring times have to fade
Seasons have to change, it is nature's way
Nobody promised us a lifetime with no pain
Heard the old man say, 'it's just a rainy day'
He knows that this will pass and joy will come again
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Saw a man with a dream of wealth and everything it brings
Heard the Shepherd call, so he left it all
Sometimes a careless word can leave a hollow ring
But he follows on, soon the hurting's gone
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on
Rain on, rain on
Rain on
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
(Rain on)
I'm standing firm on higher ground
(Rain on, rain on)
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
