Today I met the rainbow man
He's living in a rainbow land
Between the green and pink around his rim
He says the sky is not only blue
Imagine what he'd say to you
What do you think that you would say to him?
The rainbow man shines
I've searched for his brilliant tones
So forlorn through a million zones
For more than forty days and forty nights
I finally found him and I find
That he's the only one who shines
When all the fears and tears put out my lights
The rainbow man's a beacon boy
His only reason is his joy
And you know that kind of freedom can't be wrong
The world's been searching for his rays
For forty nights and forty days
But you might find him shining in this song
He's living in a rainbow land
Between the green and pink around his rim
He says the sky is not only blue
Imagine what he'd say to you
What do you think that you would say to him?
The rainbow man shines
I've searched for his brilliant tones
So forlorn through a million zones
For more than forty days and forty nights
I finally found him and I find
That he's the only one who shines
When all the fears and tears put out my lights
The rainbow man's a beacon boy
His only reason is his joy
And you know that kind of freedom can't be wrong
The world's been searching for his rays
For forty nights and forty days
But you might find him shining in this song
