I'M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS My own version of this old song
I'm always chasing rainbows
I'm always too fast or too slow
to catch the beautiful colored glow
and fly away inside its cradled bow
Is it my fault?
Do I believe all it takes is one determined reach
to win a seat at life's feast?
Rome wasn't built in a day, people say.
They don't know it's taking me forever and a day.
Yes I'm always chasing rainbows
I'm always too fast or too slow
to catch the beautful colored glow
and fly away inside its cradled bow
My hair is gray
My plans astray
From always chasing rainbows
Those multicolored promises
that make us Doubting Thomases
Oh my poor aching feet
and I know so much depends on being fleet!
Today all I want to do is eat and sleep.
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow might see me riding at last
each entrancing color through the sky.
For it's in my blood
I'm always chasing rainbows
do or die!
