Chase the Rainbow
I will chase
the rainbow
Grab the pot
of gold
That will
yank me
From my
sullen misery
Pull me from
the
Suffocating
office
Break through
these four walls
Down a life
of peace and bliss
Where by
having nothing I am all
I will chase
the rainbow
I’ll drown
the screams of critics
In the ocean
of my dreams
I will climb
the rocky mountains
With bloody,
callous hands and scream
Not be
silenced by a muted society
Who fears to
see every part of me
I will chase
the rainbow
Run past
those who’ve died inside
I’ll
recognize what I’ve had to hide
I’ll ignore
the scientist
Towards my
destined reign
Ignore him
warn,
“It’s just
sun shining through rain”
I will chase
the rainbow
For those who
ran
Through
parched plantations
Dirt, sweat
and spit sliding from their faces
Who ran with
one foot
Who broke
through chains
Who believed
the free will carry their name
I will chase
the rainbow
And whether
or not
I grasp the
gold
At least when
I am
Gray and old
I can
honestly
Speak to my
child
Gaze out a
few feet
From our
window
Smile and
think,
“Not much
more to go”,
Look to my
child
Before I go,
To a world
beyond
A world
unknown,
And say,
“I’ve gone as
far
As I could go
With every
step
Know I love
you so.
My times come
near,
I’m sure you
know.
Now, it’s
time
You chase the
rainbow”.
