Who will stop the rain -- CCR

Long as I remember The rain been comin' down.  Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion on the ground  Good men through the ages, Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.


I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm.  Caught up in the fable,
I watched the tower grow. Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.


Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more.  The crowd had rushed
together, Tryin' to keep warm. Still the rain kept pourin', Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.                                           (sing365.com)

Group leader John Fogerty wrote this. Like some of his other songs, like "Fortunate Son," it is a protest of the Vietnam War.                                                                            (songfacts.com) 

Vietnam War was a Cold War-era military conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955  to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War and was fought between North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the United States of America and other anti-communist countries. The Viet Cong , a lightly armed South Vietnamese communist-controlled common front, largely fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region. The Vietnam People's Army  engaged in a more conventional war, at times committing large units into battle. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations, involving ground forces, artillery, and airstrikes.                                                                                            (wikipedia)
