Rainbow Baby

They tell you to be strong

They say this is the dark before the dawn

It won't last forever

And time heals every wound

And so you go and stand outside in the rain

Pray all things come to those who don't complain

But what are the chances

That anyone answers you?

And you can feed it like a blossoming tree

Or you can treat it like another impossibility

But maybe you're wrong

Maybe life goes on

Maybe it's not quite the time

Wait for the rainbow, baby

And hope always remains

But shrouded as it is

In labor pains

It's hard to reveal it

And harder to feel it move

And if it honestly sings out like a bird

It must sound like a song you've rarely heard

It's nothing but silence

It's like someone lied to you

And if you feed it like a blossoming tree

Like every seed is both a prayer and a possibility

It shouldn't be long

'Til you hear the song

And realize you'll survive

Wait for the rainbow, baby

And you can wear the albatross and believe

That people stare because they notice the cross you're carrying

You've made it a part of your breaking heart

But you can leave it behind

Wait for the rainbow, baby

And every storm is bound to come to an end

Isn't it obvious the sun only sets to rise again?

And you'll be surprised when you see the sky

Why don't you open your eyes?

Look at the rainbow, baby
