He was weak, and I was strong—then

He was weak, and I was strong—then—
So He let me lead him in—
I was weak, and He was strong then—
So I let him lead me—Home.

'Twasn't far—the door was near—
'Twasn't dark—for He went—too—
'Twasn't loud, for He said nought—
That was all I cared to know.

Day knocked—and we must part—
Neither—was strongest—now—
He strove—and I strove—too—
We didn't do it—tho'!

Hello, Rainbow!

Rainbow, Rainbow
that was her nickname.
A name she had obtained,
for all the colors she'd appreciate.
Rainbow, Rainbow
that was her calling
to come out in style to show the worlds vibrant.
Rainbow, Rainbow
they laughed at her colors
said she was different
not normal like others.
Rainbow, Rainbow
they took her as a joke.
Just a mere girl looking for attention you know?
Rainbow, Rainbow
lover of rain
not a care in the world of what other people say.
Rainbow, Rainbow
she started too change
The world saw her brightly
now shes all black and grey.
Rainbow, Rainbow
why goes this way.
We've all secretly loved you.
So why not stay the same!
Rainbow, Rainbow
you bring us joy
You shed light too our day.
So go back to your ways
Rainbow, Rainbow
we appreciate your love!
We see differently now
so stay who you are.
Rainbow, Rainbow!
That's who I am.
A girl of 14
who is oddly at best.
Rainbow, Rainbow!
Everyone calls me that.
I'm just a use for you all
, but i don't mind that.
Rainbow, Rainbow
A mirror image I am.
A reflection of colors
that most people don't understand.
Rainbow, Rainbow
you called my name?
Why hello I'm here.
To shed light to your day

My Dream of Iris

I dreamt I cast an overarching path
Of coloured scales
Thriving on the solar rays that play upon
The waning of the storm –

I’d thrown a filmy avenue to reconnect
Empyrean with humankind!

Elated, I flitted through refracted hues –
Those from watery spheres that
Fan the iridescent prism.

And more: shimmering sprites in dance atop the spray
Conveyed adieus to gods
Departing for their hallowed visitation…

I woke and pined anon,
Begging Iris: ‘Be so kind and

Take us on your wing to new endeavours –
Show that nothing in the ether tempers you!
And every time you render us a rainbow,
See it fires a lust for zest anew! ’

Play with Rainbow

Play with Rainbow, wear the Rainbow
Ride the Rainbow high and low
Spread the color of Rainbow wherever you go
Paint with Rainbow, create a magnificent show
Share Rainbow with neighbor, family and friend
Give the needy a helping hand, reach out and extend
Dance with Rainbow, sing with Rainbow
Let the Rainbow shine through
Rainbow comes from Sun Shine and rain seven colors true
It paints the sky with seven colors and dazzling hue
It bridges the Earth and the beyond for a short moment
Arched, end to end, never changes, same as past and present
I wonder if there is Rainbow in the other world
Where we go when we pass on
Is there day, night or dawn
What is a Rainbow, how it is born

Self-knowledge

Show me a wrong conclusion
and I’ll jump to it.

Show me a wrong tree
and I’ll bark up it.

Show me a wild goose
and I’ll chase it.

Show me a hare
and I’ll hare after it.

Show me a conspiracy theory
and I thought of it first.

Tell me I’m too passive
and I’ll punch your face in for saying it.

Tell me I’m too aggressive
and I’ll break your bloody neck for even suggesting it.

Call me iggerant
an I'll teach yer...

Who you lookin’ at?
Saw yer lookin’…

Love Or Something Like It

Show me a bar with a good lookin woman
then just get out of my way
show me the jukebox, i'll tell you a song you should play
sooner a later a few shots of bourbon
and i'll think of somethin to say
whoa, I can take her or leave her
but I like to take her away
Liquor and music, a good combination
if you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
some want a drink first
and some want to just sit and talk
whoa, oh, it's two in the morning
I'm running and she wants to walk
Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
That's when I asked her
my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing
but just the right woman this time
cause she knew a hotel
she even had a name we could sign
whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are
the sweeter the taste of the wine
Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain't free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
love or somethin damn near like it's got a hold on me

Don’t be cheap

Buy not a thing because it’s cheap.
Don’t let others make you cheap.
To be greedy is to be cheap.
To be selfish is to be cheap.
To poke your nose is a cheap thing.
Don’t be cheap; better be poor.

Under The Rainbow

(written by matraca berg, randy scruggs)
Evening, porch swing, we love to watch it rain
To some folks, it aint much, but we think weve got it made
Some people dream about streets paved with gold
Only to find a yellow brick road
We know the way that story goes
Here under the rainbow
People pass us by
We laugh at the way they laugh at you and i
The world is spinning around and around
Everybodys lookin for higher ground
But here under the rainbow
Dreams fall from the sky
From the sky
Weve got an old car with spare parts and a broken radio
So many back seat memories we just cant let it go
Sometimes we like to take it out
Give the neighbors somethin to talk about
Movin as slow as the law allows
Here under the rainbow
People pass us by
We laugh at the way they laugh at you and i
The world is spinning around and around
Everybodys lookin for higher ground
But here under the rainbow
Dreams fall from the sky
From the sky
Some people dream about streets paved with gold
Only to find a yellow brick road
We know the way that story goes
Here under the rainbow
People pass us by
We laugh at the way they laugh at you and i
The world is spinning around and around
Everybodys lookin for higher ground
But here under the rainbow
Dreams fall from the sky
From the sky

Heres Lookin At You Kid

(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
The kid in the valleys got an attitude
Lean and mean, with nothin to lose
He aint uptight, he dont care no more
The girls start screamin as he hits the floor
The time is now, while the night is young
Youre on the road, wanting to run
You got to stop boy, it aint just talk, no way
So turn up the heat, and let it rock
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Look at me, I got my dancin shoes
Theres lots of women, which one do I choose
Ill place a wager, with a ten dollar bill
If the blond dont get me, then the brunette will
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid, alright
Better not tell me that Im unkind
But I dont wanna hear whats on your mind, no way
I dont need trouble, that was yesterday
I came to party, I came to play, yeah
So heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you (heres lookin at you), heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid

I Will Find You

I've been lookin' here
Lookin' there
Can you tell me who
Tell me where
Cos wherever I am
Wherever you are
I will find you boy
Near or far
I've been lookin' here
Lookin' there
Can you tell me who
Tell me where
Cos wherever I am
Wherever you are
I will find you boy
Near or far

I fell in love with this girl I saw
And I'm pretty sure that me and her have met before
So why did I
Act so shy
And didn't say a thing
Cos now
I'm wondering

I've been lookin' here
Lookin' there
Can you tell me who
Tell me where
Cos wherever I am
Wherever you are
I will find you girl
Near or far

I've been lookin' here
Lookin' there
Can you tell me who
Tell me where
Cos wherever I am
Wherever you are
I will find you girl
Near or far

I saw this boy and he looked at me
I noticed him

Crouchin’ On The Outside

One two three four five six seven eight hey baby you're a little too late
I'm standin' on the outside lookin' in at you on the inside
Lookin' out at me on the outside lookin' in
Through the window of my madness at a place I never been
And you say you understand just what my trouble's all about
But you're sitting on the inside playing on the win side
While I'm freezing on the outside in the what's-it-all-about side
Lookin' in at you on the inside looking out

One two three four five six seven eight hey Jim let's talk about hate
I'm walkin' on the white side lookin' 'round at you on the brown side
Lookin' back at him on the black side lookin' down
And we're mouthin' words of freedom but we don't make any sound
And we clasp our hands in brotherhood and then go wash our hands
While you're stayin' on the brown side on the go-ahead-and-put-me-down side
While I'm standin' on the white side on the got-me-way-up-tight side
Lookin' back at him on the black side lookin' back

One two three four five six seven eight hey Claude don't bother to wait
You're cruisin' on the gay side lookin' straight at me on the straight side
Lookin' way at you on the gay side lookin' straight
And you're screamin' from the rooftops bout the pleasures that won't wait
And your closet's full of queenly gowns for extra special dates
And you're campin' on the gay side on the c'mon-out-and-play side
While I'm over on the trick side on the got-to-find-a-chick side
Lookin' way at you on the gay side lookin' straight
One two four seven nine eight twelve fifteen nineteen eighteen ninety-nine twenty-four else
[ sax ]
One two three four five six seven eight hey Miss hallucinate
You're boppin' on the hip side laughin' at me on the flip side
Chasin' after you on the hip side losin' my grip
And you're walkin' on a tightrope and you're tryin' not to slip
And you say you found out where it's at and give it all a try
So you're groovin' on the hip side in the come-and-take-a-trip side
I'm movin' on the square side in the show-me-when-and-where side
Chasin' after you on the hip side lookin' high
Lookin' at you on the hip side lookin' out yeah
Lookin' at you on the flip side lookin' back

Started off the day with a thought
That took me far away
I think I found a place
Where I know I can be forever
Its down in san miguel

Could be in mexico
Where you dont need no dough

Lookin for the ladies of love

Goin straight ahead
Down in to san miguel
Over the top
We cross the border now
Headin in to san miguel

RAINBOW FOR MY GRANDAUGHTER Sarahi

Rainbow
rainbow
rainbow
I said to
the child
who was seeing
a rainbow
for the first time
and she pointed at the
rainbow
she spoke to the
rainbow
and the
rainbow
became brigher
and brighter
until it was gone
but the child kept looking at the sky
to see a
rainbow
rainbow
rainbow
for the first time.

Who I Am

You don't like my hair,
You don't like my dress.
You think I'm wrong;
That you know best.

Think you know better.
Think you got it all.
And right now,
My back's against the wall.

You say I should be here;
But I really should be there.
Come to think of it now,
I should be nowhere.

You say how I should live:
What, when, where, how.
But I'm telling you,
Back off right now.

I was made to praise God,
To live, love, and be free.
God made me:
He made me to be me.

Twasn't to be,
Chasing the stars.
Twasn't to be,
Who you are.

I was made to be me,
With none other alike.
So take a hint
And take a hike.

Made to praise,
Made to live,
Made to love,
Made to give.

Made like no other,
Made by the great I AM.
Just a unique worm,
That's who I am.

So take a deep breath and swallow...
This is who I am.

The Things A Rainbow Knows

A rainbow knows when to come out of its shadows
A rainbow knows the colors of the world
A rainbow knows hoe many children are looking out of the window towards him
A rainbow knows what the season is.
Oh, the things a rainbow knows.

Looking For Another Pure Love

Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind,
I had no problems, never a problem in my life,
Never a worry on my mind.
All my days before today were happy,
And secure until your phone call,
You were tellin me goodbye.
Now Im lookin for another love,
Im lookin for another pure love in my life,
And Im lookin for another love,
Im lookin for another pure love in my life.
Now the wheel of fate has turned,
Im worried bout the new love youve discovered,
He is a problem in my life,
I have a problem on my mind.
Things you cherish most in your life,
Can be taken if theyre left neglected,
Leavin a problem in your life.
cause now Im lookin for another love,
Im lookin for another pure love in my life, ooh,
And now Im lookin for another love,
And now Im lookin for another love,
Im lookin for another pure love in my life, ooh,
Im lookin for another love,
Im lookin for another pure love in my life.

Rainbow Road

I was born a dirt poor man
All my life Ive had hard working hands
But I sang my song as I carried my load
Cause I had a dream about rainbow
Rainbow road
Then one day a man came along
Heard me playing and singing my songs
He bought me clothes and paid up every debt I owed
Sent me on my way down rainbow
Rainbow road
Then one night a man with a knife
Pushed me till I had to take his life
Fast as falling all my friends were gone
That old judge traded me a sentence for a song
Now Im living with this ball and chain
I had to wear a number before they ever heard my name
And like the dream Im growing old
But we still sing about rainbow
Rainbow road
Tag:
Rainbow road, rainbow road
Rainbow road, rainbow road
Rainbow road, rainbow road
