Under The Rainbow


under the rainbow
     
          I want to know
                    I want you to justify
              Why can we not be accepted for who we are
        Why is it you feel we are never on par
                          In my life I have come this far
             But not yet faraway              
                            Not yet through with the day

        I sympathize how much you are obscured I do not endorse
               How deep down you are a cave
       Not knowing when it is time to be right
                            Not knowing the time to express
                  The souls are laid thick not to rest
             So crowded the truth has been misplaced
                   All done at an immense expense

                    To who to you to me I do not understand
          Why we have to conform to what you like
      Do I not deserve my own opinion
                              Do we not share the facts
              Let judgement be mine to hold
              Let me wear the skin on my back
                    Do not peel what is not yours to strip

             Can you not level the tower it overshadows
           It is the cocoon you embrace I do not like the place
                Why do you not learn to love
          What does not fit in your glove
                 What is so different between you and me
                        Can you not see what is true
               There is really nothing new

       Why do I always have to agree
                         Why do you not listen to me
                 In your life do you care
                   For what you do not comprehend
            You should know it will not be the end
                              But an age of fountains
              The bringing down of mountains 

                      It is time for circumstance to ameliorate
      Life need not be what you devised of it
                  The mould does not unchanging have to fit
         What you have acquired is no reason to believe
                       Why can you not like what you see
               Why are you always cutting down the tree
                            This is no way to let yourself free

          Does anybody care what is said and done
              Does anybody care what is under the rainbow
         We are and should not have to rearrange
                        Not for no body not now not ever
                     Be ourselves be yourself
                             No matter what it takes
              Do not go jerking on those brakes

                          We should not have to conform
                 No accommodation no adjustment
                               Be it not above or beneath
        No ideological stereotypical methodical kind
                     If this is your life you be blind
     This is not the path your soul was meant to sway
                             No way no how say nay

              Round and round and round we go
                    Will we change I do not know
                Will we linger on the same
                          Has this all been a game
                A myriad of acts to be broken
                    Nothing may be spoken
                         Beware be afraid do not you dare

          Under the rainbow the choice is gold
                         The thunderstorm will no more roar
         Under the rainbow life is fair
                         An occasion I find so rare
                            Everybody cares
                  I lay my soul down to bare
              Do you dare
