I Have Seen the Rain
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have felt the pain
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even know where I've been
But I know I'd like to see them again
[Chorus]
Spend my nights in dreams
Stop looking over my shoulder baby
I stopped wondering what it means.
Drop out, burn out, sold your home
Oh they said I should've been more
Probably so if I hadn't been in that crazy damn Vietnam war
I have seen the rain
I've survived the pain
Oh I've been home 30 years or so
And I'm just stepping off of the plane
[Chorus]
We have seen the rain together
We survived the pain forever
Oh it's good to be home again
It's good to be with my friends
Oh it's good to be home again
It's good to feel that rain
The song "I Have Seen The Rain" by P!nk is a powerful and emotional ode to veterans and those who survived the Vietnam War. The opening verse reveals the singer's sense of confusion and uncertainty about their past, present, and future. They have seen terrible things and felt great pain, but they hold onto the hope that they will be able to revisit those memories again. The chorus embodies the singer's sense of restlessness and searching, as they spend their days seeking something elusive and their nights lost in dreams. Yet the singer is also determined to stop dwelling on the past and move forward, no longer haunted by fear and doubt.
The second verse names the singer's past experiences more explicitly, revealing that they were involved in the Vietnam War and that they faced harsh criticism for their involvement. While the singer acknowledges that they may have been better off avoiding the war altogether, they also recognize that their experiences shaped them in powerful and enduring ways. The final verse brings a sense of closure to the song, as the singer returns home after thirty years and is greeted by friends and the familiar sound of rain. Despite all they have been through, the singer shares a deep sense of camaraderie and resilience with everyone who has survived the rain and pain together.

I have seen the rain
I have experienced difficult times in my life
I have felt the pain
I have suffered from emotional and physical pain
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I don't have a clear plan for my future
I don't know where I'm going
I'm uncertain about my direction in life
I don't even know where I've been
I'm unsure of my past experiences
But I know I'd like to see them again
I hope to revisit my positive past experiences
Spend my days just searching
I spend my time trying to find my place in the world
Spend my nights in dreams
I escape reality by dreaming at night
Stop looking over my shoulder baby
I want to stop worrying about my past mistakes
I stopped wondering what it means
I stopped trying to make sense of everything
Drop out, burn out, sold your home
I chose to leave society and sell my belongings due to frustration and exhaustion
Oh they said I should've been more
Others judged me for my choices and thought I should have done better
Probably so if I hadn't been in that crazy damn Vietnam war
Maybe they're right, but the Vietnam war had a profound impact on my life and decisions
We have seen the rain together
We have shared difficult experiences
We survived the pain forever
We continue to carry the emotional scars of our experiences
Oh it's good to be home again
I'm happy to be back in a familiar and safe place
It's good to be with my friends
I value the support and companionship of my loved ones
It's good to feel that rain
I appreciate the simple things in life, like the sensation of rainfall
