[Verse 1]
Wise one who understood the law
That was handed down from God long ago
Reflected the true meaning to his woman every day
And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care and keeping
She trusted he would lead in the right way
Her children in subjection to her, she in subjection to the wise one
The wise one in subjection to the Almighty God
Forever is in subjection to God
[Chorus]
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flying upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly, covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flying upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly, covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
[Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 2]
As prophesied, the wise one and his woman
Were tempted by the resistor
He knowing full well the wise one's love for God
Assimilated the woman first and only
Quite naturally chaos ensued
They see
