A Double Rainbow

Rainbow Part 28.mp3

LYRICS
There was this flood
Washed away the blood
(Except for er, a… Noah)
What did follow?
Promise of the rainbow

Chorus
What do you win?
(You get to) hold on to your dreams
Say it again
Consciousness streams
Dreams

There is this tale
Of being swallowed by a whale
What it ate
Did regurgitate
(Ah, ya know.. Jonah)

LYRICS
What makes your tail wag
What will fly your flag
As as it won’t curtail the words we can say
Or concede the freed in any way

Chorus
Hey, now! Wait just a minute
Mixed up just like a nut
Enough “if’s, and’s and but’s”
Mixed nuts
Deluxe mixed nuts

When the mire is quag
Moral’s on the sag
Sometimes someone needs to stand up and say

LYRICS
I look out my window
(And there’s) snow
Do you know
If some day the present
Will be the past
If some day the present
Just won’t last

As the Wicked Witch of the West did suggest
I’m melting
Marching to the humdrum
The Frosty syndrome
For those still doubting
I’m melting

You wretched child
Gone wild
Let it be told
“Oh, what a world! What a world!”

LYRICS
What is impossible?
I don’t know
Perhaps not plausible
Still give it a go

Ya, let’s give it a go
We’ll give it a go
Yeah!

Think what you can do
Yes, you
Imagine the scene you dream
Solo
Or as a team
We’ll give it a go

A propelling force

For better or worse

LYRICS
Start the day in the usual way
Somewhere, somehow it goes astray
Will today be the day
The weak and innocent are O.K.?

All I can say
Hope help is on the way

Going through the day, I say,
“Somewhere, someone diminish dismay”
May it be me, I pray
The meek and decent are O.K.

All I can say
Hope help is on the way

Winding down to the end of the day
What on Earth have you to say
For how the kingdom should pay
Inherit the Earth? Well, O.K.!

All I can say
Help is on the way
