Let it flow like the river that knows no name,

Dr. J in the sky, fingers still spinning the game.

Sax talks soft through the hush of the park,

every note a lay-up that lights up the dark.

Echoes of sneakers, asphalt in bloom,

we breathe in the groove and let victory loom.

Let it flow, let it rise, let the midnight ignite—

one smooth silver line till the morning is bright.

Can you stop the rain, when the sky keeps falling?

Can you dry the tears, that the night keeps calling?

I walk through the storm, with your name in my chest,

Every drop a memory, every breath unrest.

If love is the fire, then why do we drown?

Can you stop the rain, before I sink down?

I still hear your voice, like thunder in chains—

Can you stop the rain, can you stop the rain?
