Catching Rainbows

do you dream of better things
do you wish for anything
do you continue to hold out hope
do you imagine life shiny and new
well sorry sunshine i have bad news for you
life is hard and makes you curse
when things are bad they tend to get worse
time is cruel but makes you strong
when you think you're right you're always wrong
people tell you lies to ease their own pain
you can't catch rainbows if your life is full of rain
so soak up the sun when ever you can
that way at least you'll have a really nice tan
