Before you find your rainbow.
When this troubled world
Gets you down so much
And you feel you need
Someone to listen
Loving arms for sanctuary
And a loving touch
It's hard to keep your balance
In such an unbalanced place
How can people not go crazy
In a world that's insane
You go around in circles
Tied to a wheel
Reaching dead ends
The walls feel as if they are closing in
You carry such a heavy load
You need some help from your friends
How you wish you could drop your heavy load
And trouble somewhere on a distant shore
So the waves of stormy weather
Wash over you no more
You iron out the wrinkles
That caused so much pain
You can at last see the light at the end of the tunnel
Getting ever near
Again
So eventually, you get your act together that's
If you can again
When the world's fell apart around you
Just remember you are not the only one
And everyone has troubles
Some are even worse off than you
We are here for such a short time
You take the stage one moment, and then suddenly you are gone
How can anyone understand you
If you can't even understand yourself
T Life is a series of stepping stones
Sometimes you make it to the next step
Other times you fall between it can make you blue
If you fall it doesn't mean you failed
You are just human like everyone else
We all fall sometimes
You either have a comfortable bed
Or a bed of nails
People only see what they want to see
And believe what they want to believe
What they want is sometimes
Right is right at the end of their nose
They go in the wrong direction wherever that may be
Searching for an elusive rainbow
With it's pot of gold at the end
Just remember before you find your rainbow
There needs to be a little rain.
