Rainbow

Hold tightly to my friend
Within my reach no more
   He drifted in the wind
And washed upon your shore

   Release him of the chains
That constrained his life on earth
   Cleanse him of the pain
Restore his self worth

   Demolish his dependence
For all that does him harm
   Let Satan be your witness
As you shield him with your arm

   And when the heaven's pour
Don't let the sun cease
   Just as you did before
Show us he's at peace
