The End of the Rainbow

Remember the days when we all felt free Back in the days when we were happy as can be Not a worry in the world,where all our dreams came true When we believed af the end of the rainbow was a pot of gold Those were the days when we were maybe 5 years old Days became weeks,weeks became years The next thing you knew happiness became tears Joy became sadness and pain Addictions turned our tears into rain What we once believed to be happiness and fate Soon became sadness and hate Dreams became nightmares and darkness Alcohol and drugs covered up our heartbreak and righteousness Our smiles faded and turned us to sin Our addictions made us believe we were happy once again The people we believed to be our true friend Turned on us and it came to an end We covered our pain with lies and dope We then began to give up all hope As children we dreamt of a wonderful life Instead as we grew we felt like we were stabbed with a knife The peace and joy we once felt Ended up being the hand we were dealt Accept the person you are One day you will become someones shining star When your days come to an end You will see who was really your friend
