END OF THE RAINBOW

AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW I HEAR
THERE LIES A POT OF GOLD
SO I SET OUT ON MY JOURNEY TO SEE
IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH TO THIS STORY TOLD

I SAID" I'LL FOLLOW THAT RAINBOW
ACROSS OCEAN,LAND AND SEA
AND WHEN I FIND THE END OF IT
THERE WILL BE A TREASURE WAITING FOR ME

AS I FOLLOWED THE RAINBOW'S GREENS AND REDS
YELLOWS,BLUES AND AQUA.MARINES
COLORS FULL OF SUCH BEAUTY
LIKE NONE MY EYES HAVE EVER SEEN

STRECTHED OUT ACROSS THE SKY
LIKE AN ARCHWAY TO ANOTHER LAND
THE RAINBOW SEEMED TO BE SAYING SOMETHING
YET I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND

AS I TRAVELED LONG AND HARD
I WATCHED DAY TURN INTO NIGHT
SO I LAID DOWN TO REST
UNTIL THE NEW MORNING LIGHT

IN MY DREAM I SAW AN ANGEL
REACHING OUT FOR MY HAND
"COME "SHE SAID "LET ME TAKE YOU
PAST THE RAINBOW TO ANOTHER LAND

AS WE PAST THE GREEN
I SAW FLOWERS,PLANTS AND TREES
BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING
THAT I GOT WEAK IN MY KNEES

THEN WE CAME TO YELLOW
FULL OF SUNSHINE,JOY AND SMILES
I TRIED TO HOLD THE ANGEL BACK
SO WE COULD STAY THERE AWHILE

PAST THE YELLOW TO THE BLUE
A SPHERE OF TOTAL TRANQUILITY
AN AIR OF PEACEFUL CALM
JUST FLOODED OVER ME

THEN INTO THE AQUA.MARINES
FULL OF OCEANS,SEAS AND LAKES
RIPPLES DANCING TO THE SOUND OF THE WIND
SO AMAZED NOT A SOUND I COULD MAKE

ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE BEFORE ME
WE WERE SURROUNDED BY CRIMSON RED
PEOPLE WERE BEING COVERED BY BLOOD
FROM A MAN ON A CROSS WITH THORNS ON HIS HEAD

OH ANGEL I AM FRIGHTENED
OF WERE YOU ARE TAKING ME
FEAR NOT:FOR YOU ARE GOING TO THE LAND
WHERE RAINBOWS WATCH OVER HEAVEN'S ETERNITY

WE ENTERED IN TO STREETS OF GOLD
DIAMONDS AND RUBYS LAID THERE
THIS MUST BE THE END OF THE RAINBOW
FOR THERE ARE RICHES EVERYWHERE

BUT THE ANGEL SAID"YOU'LL NEVER SEE
THIS PLACE THAT YOU STAND IN
IF RICHES,GREED AND WEALTH ARE ALL
IN THIS LIFE YOU WISH TO WIN

YOU SEE THE RAINBOWS COLORS
ARE TO TELL A STORY TO YOU
THAT BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
IS THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO COME THROUGH

DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES OR THE STORIES
TRUST IN THE RAINBOW THAT YOU SEE
LET THE COLORS OF LOVE,PEACE AND HAPPINESS
BE THE WAY YOU'LL LIVE FULL AND FREE

ALL OF A SUDDEN I WOKE UP
TO A BRIGHT AND SUNNY NEW DAY
LOOKING UP AT THE RAINBOW BEFORE ME
I THOUGHT OF ALL THE ANGEL HAD TO SAY

SO I PACKED MY BAGS AND STARTED HOME
KNOWING NO POT OF GOLD I WOULD EVER FIND
FOR MY RICHES LIVE INSIDE MYSELF
AND IN CHRIST I AM WEALTHY ALL THE TIME
