The song Craig Werner called the “best blues songs written about Vietnam”, “Who’ll Stop The Rain” is one of Creedence’s most popular and well-regarded songs. A rootsy folk rock anthem that is often interpreted as being about both the war in Vietnam and John Fogerty’s experience in Woodstock.
[Verse 1]
Long as I remember, the rain been coming down
Clouds of mystery pouring, confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun
[Chorus]
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
[Verse 2]
I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains
[Chorus]
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
[Verse 3]
Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together, trying to keep warm
Still the rain kept pouring, falling on my ears
[Chorus]
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain

Despite what is written above, songwriter John Fogerty said in 1970 –
[Listeners] put too much weight on political references in songs. They think a song will save the world. It’s absurd.
Therefore –
As a result, the song is timeless.
