Chasing Rainbows


words and music by Rick Paul

From the album Chasing Rainbows


That burning desire
You know what I mean
Sometimes it drives you crazy
That impossible dream
“You’re just chasing rainbows”
That’s what people say
But you keep chasing rainbows
And try to keep faith

Some people will tell you
“You’re just wasting time
On pipe dreams and high hopes
Mountains you’ll never climb”
But one step starts a journey
That can last all your days
And when you’re chasing rainbows
There’s a smile on your face

Life is a ride
Rough and rocky at times
You can sit back while time passes by
Or blaze your own road
By the fire from your soul
It’s your choice
What will you decide

Yes, life is a ride
Rough and rocky at times
You can sit back while time passes by
Or blaze your own road
By the fire from your soul
It’s your choice
What will you decide

If there’s a dream you’ve been dreaming
One you’ve held in your heart
There’s no match for this moment
To bring it out of the dark
Head toward the horizon
Let your soul show the way
‘Cause when you’re chasing rainbows
You’re walking in faith

So go chase some rainbows
Before it’s too late
