lyrics

©1998 N. Kramer, BMI

Rainbows have a way of knowing And welcoming the light Flying its flag
Rainbows have a way of showing
 And teaching about light 
Naming all the colors

Water with its peace with time
 Can block and bend the ligh
t I want to be that water

I am a rainbow chaser
 I want to get that pot
 Of gold at the end

I want to see the way 
I want to know the way
 Sailing on the waves
 Floating in the waves
 Feeling a part of time
 Feeling all of the time

I want to be a rainbowmaker
 I want to be a prism-man 
I want to show my colors

I want a sky, each star an eye
 Mirroring me back my man
 Shining on me, shining me

I want to be, be understood
 And I want, want to be heard
 I want to be cared about

I want to be a rainbowmaker
 To refract a tiny piece 
Of all the distance of light

I want to be a rainbowmaker
 I want to be a prism-man
 I want to show you my colors

I want to see the way
 I want to know the way
 Sailing on the waves 
Floating in the waves
 Feeling a part of time
 Feeling all of the time
