Rainbows after rain
Parallel Universe - track 9
music and lyrics: Tracey Roberts © 2006
In the days before I mothered a child everything was all about me
My life never felt threatened at all - it was pretty ideal, oh oh oh
Gone are the days of my hedonistic youth and not a worry in the world
I watched in horror as the towers came down and Jesus it was real oh oh oh
I am stunned by the depths of darkness in this world
Yet theres always the sun shining for this little girl
I believe in rainbows after rain
Shine on rainbows after rain
I watch miscarriages of justice occur and the heatwaves and hurricanes
And its going to take a tidal wave of fear to make it right, oh oh oh
So as experience and awareness creep in, they bring their friend, responsibility
And I realize that we have to act now before we run out of time, oh oh oh
There must be a path between denial and defeat
And I still live in hope that we will wake up from our sleep
I believe in rainbows after rain
Shine on rainbows after rain
A friend once told me: Youre too happy, you need some darkness in your life
I disagree, Ive had and seen enough darkness to last me several lifetimes
I simply choose not to harbour evil for too long
So if I can be inspired by the music and the power of a song
Then I can hope theres a future for our daughters and our sons
I believe in rainbows after rain
Shine on rainbows after rain...shine on...
I believe in rainbows...for our daughters and our sons...shine on...
