Chasing Rainbows
When I was a child
I heard it told
At the end of a rainbow,
There was a pot of gold.
Then one day I seen
A rainbow in the sky
It seemed to call to me
I knew I had to try
I headed out of town
With gold on my mind,
With my eyes on the sky,
My riches I would find.
I was oblivious to the world
And where I was going
Suddenly the rainbow vanished
Without me ever knowing.
As I turned around,
It was behind me now
I must have passed it
But I don’t know how.
I took off running
To find my treasure again
I was getting close
And I noticed it then.
The rainbow had ended
Right there at home
I didn’t need my travels.
I never had to roam.
The riches I found
That brought my life pleasure
Was the love of my family
That I will always treasure.
