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
