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 John Derek Hamilton May 4,2024

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

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

Hey big John nice song. Chasing rainbows in the rain to ease the pain. Not a bad refrain. I recently wrote my first rispetto with a similar theme

Dear John, your tender, expressive lyric is beautiful, uplifting and inspiring. The spiritual vibe runs smoothly through your verse to comfort and smooth the angst and anguish of heart and mind and spirit. The reassurance offered in your brilliant poem is like a soulful, lyrical hug. Warmest wishes, my dear friend.. ~Susan
