Fire and Rain by James Taylor is featured in The Quarterback, the third episode of Season Five. It is sung by Artie and Sam with the New Directions singing back-up.
In the auditorium, the New Directions and Santana take this time to grieve for Finn. Artie and Sam lead the song, with Sam playing the guitar as the New Directions cry and sing together. At the end of the performance Santana leaves the stage, overwhelmed as she goes to Finn's locker where his memorial is located.

Artie:
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
Sam:
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
Artie and Sam with New Directions:
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Sam:
Won't you look down upon me Jesus
You got to help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
Artie and Sam:
My body's achin' and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
Artie and Sam with New Directions:
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again.
Artie:
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
Sam:
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Artie and Sam with New Directions:
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Artie and Sam:
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again now
New Directions:
One more time, one more time
Artie (New Directions):
Thought I'd see you (One more time again...) one more time again (again)
Sam:
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around now
Artie and Sam with New Directions:
But I always thought that I'd see you again
