Lyrics
I was the only unicorn on my rainbow, Oh, I was all alone
Without a reason to glow
Red, yellow, orange, green, pink and blue they weren’t for me
Oh no, I had to indigo
Living on a rainbow can be a rollercoaster ride
One day you’re up on top next thing you’re slipping down the slide
Life wasn’t always full of sparkles and delight
I had no one there to hear me crying in the night
I had to make a change, make a change, make a change
Had to break the chain, I had to get away
had to make a change, make a change, make a change
I had to start again and find a better way
I needed to leave and find a place where I belong
Where I was safe and I could sing my little songs
Where I could be myself, and let my sparkles shine on through Turns out that place was right
here next to you ohhhh
I had to make a change, make a change, make a change
Had to break the chain, I had to get away
had to make a change, make a change, make a change
I had to start again and find a better way
I was the only unicorn on my rainbow, Oh,
