There's just something about a rainbow
Is a rainbow's purpose clear?
Does it know the reason it appears?
What does a rainbow do?
Does it shine, glow, stretch, project?
What does a rainbow do?
A rainbow simply bes
Commits fully to its elusive existence
Does not fight its disappearance
Does not be with pride
Does not be with envy
A rainbow only bes to be itself
And for a rainbow, that is plenty
A rainbow does not worry
Wether it is looked upon it judgement
A rainbow does not fear
Whether it lives a moral life
A rainbow simply is
So a rainbow simply bes.
How can something so existentially simple
Be so beautiful? So awe-inspiring? So heart-stopping?
A rainbow is,
And so it was.
There's just something about a rainbow.
What good is a rainbow
if it can't be seen?
What good is an angel
if it can't be heard?
What good is love
without peace on earth?
What good is love
if you're gonna fear hurt?
What good is love?
Just listen
Trust your heart
to tell apart
Truth from lies
don't compromise
Trust your heart
and listen
Take a break
For your sake
and for the sake of love
and for the sake of truth
and for the sake of peace
They're gonna love what you do
'cause what good is love
without peace on earth?
What good is an angel if it can't be heard?
What good is a rainbow if it can't be seen?
What good is a rainbow?
What good is a rainbow?
