Chasing Rainbows
I've chased some rainbows in my day
I've even caught a few
But it couldn't buy me happiness
Or make the world look new
It couldn't make my pain go away
Or even wipe my tears
It didn't offer no comforting words
Or calm my deepest fears
It couldn't show me right from wrong
Or pick me up, when I fall
It's never there when I need a friend
Or hear me when I call
It never made me feel whole inside
Like I do each time I pray
It couldn't light my darkest nights
To help me find my way
The rainbow can keep its pot of gold
And you may consider me odd
But I'm no longer chasing rainbows
For now I'm following God
