Chasing Rainbows
Chasing Rainbows
In a distant memory
Beneath a lonely maple tree
I sat upon my thinking rock
And listened to the voices talk
I asked them what was meant to be
And this is what they said to me
Listen close as I confide
Happiness is on the other side
Look beyond the prism’s gate
Stepping through will end your hate
But it’s guarded by the devil’s mate
And she will surely seal your fate
But if you live in misery
I have a plan to set you free
If you can somehow gain her trust
Somehow deceive her, feed her lust
The would be a fiery storm of dust
As Satan came and then you must
Make a break for the other side
And do not stop unless you’ve died
If you make it you’ll forget
Your pain, your sorrow, and regret
You’ll know peace, love, and respect
Is more than something you expect
I listened to them closely
Decided if only just maybe
Someday somehow just suppose
The voice I keep on hearing somehow really knows
So any time it’s raining and the sun still shows
If you want to find me I’ll be out chasing rainbows
