The song is a metaphor for something but I'm not sure what.
Lyrics after the jump.
Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah, I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

I think the song foreshadowed his future struggles with CCR, control of his songs, the death of his brother, the concomitant depression, and all that.
"I wanta know have you ever seen the rain?"
Oh yeah.
I have, and I'll bet everyone on this blog gets a little wet sometimes.
"on this blog" meaning everyone who reads it
