John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Chasing rainbows

Chasing rainbows

When all hope just seems to fade,
When the darkness throws more shade,
When your heart can't catch a break,
Negativity you can't shake...no more


Bridge
Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight

Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...
Keep chasing rainbows...in the rain
Keep chasing rainbows
A hopeful distraction...from the pain
Keep chasing rainbows


When you pray a solemn prayer,
for another breath of air
When you only want your share,
of a hope that leads you to... somewhere


Bridge
Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight

Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...
Keep chasing rainbows...in the rain
Keep chasing rainbows
A hopeful distraction...from the pain
Keep chasing rainbows


When tomorrow never comes,
When you feel you've come undone
When you've lost what you had won
Now you're searching for someone...who cares.

Bridge
Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight

Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...
Keep chasing rainbows...in the rain
Keep chasing rainbows
A gentle distraction...from the pain

keep chasing rainbows
keep chasing rainbows repeat

CayCay Godwin March 30, 2025 at 7:38 AM Where are you? I disappeared, reappeared, found you disappeared and now concern has appeared ... It is not acceptable that we don't know what has happened to other poets we feel connected to, somehow that needs remedied. If you are no longer with us on Soup, I hope it isn't because of pain. If you are no longer with us on earth, I know there is no longer pain and you are free. I'd just like to know. CayCay John Hamilton June 10, 2025 at 2:01 PM Thanks Cay Cay just been going through some health issues not feeling inspired but glad you came by and showed your concern. Nice to see you today.

CayCay Godwin February 4, 2025 at 6:24 PM I heard it in my head and it was a most touching song. I like the lyrics and was surprised to hear my imagination's own implied music which was Van Morrison-ilike. I'm glad I checked to see if you were still here ... CayCay John Hamilton June 10, 2025 at 2:02 PM Thanks for stopping by Cay Cay, glad you liked it.
