I NEED A RAINBOW TODAY
A RAINBOW TODAY
(T. Beechey)
The rain's no longer falling, the sun begins to shine
Inside I yearn a calling, just a glimmer of a sign
That everything indeed is going to be okay
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
Life, with all its worries, is sometimes hard to bear
Time so often hurries but never goes nowhere
As the last raindrop beads on the window, this I pray:
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
Something which to feed my spirits in some way
So, at last, I'll be freed from the price that I pay
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
The clouds have dissipated and the world begins anew
For those who have waited for the rain to be through
Me, I still plead for this message to convey
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
I hear the sounds of laughter from the children passing by
Happily ever after underneath a clear blue sky
Which only tends to lead me further astray
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
Something which to feed my spirits in some way
So, at last, I'll be freed from the price that I pay
Lord, what I need is a rainbow today
And there's so many others questing signs from above
All the broken-hearted mothers who've lost the ones they love
The children who've been treated to a life of disarray
Lord, they all need a rainbow today
The rain's no longer falling, the sun begins to shine
Inside I yearn a calling, just a glimmer of a sign
For this world filled with greed and moral decay
Lord, we all need a rainbow today
Lord, what we need is a rainbow today
Something which to feed our spirits in some way
So, at last, we'll be freed from the prices that we pay
Lord, what we need is a rainbow today
