THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
(I HOPE...)

maybe the rainbow
is all in my mind
as simple as it seems
to think is to find

maybe the rainbow
is all in my heart
as simple as it seems
right there from the start

all I ever wanted was to loved someone
with all of my love
with all I dream of

and all I ever wanted was to be love the same
with all I could give
each moment we live

but I'm always told that I want too much
that I'm too intense
that I'm an expense
no one can afford

but I don't understand when people say that
the only one they seem
to want to love them this much is their dream
of their lord

and some people paint their lives
in many shades of blues
and some people burn their lives
in scarlet purple hues
and some people renew life
and beam evergreen light
and some people are colors
only seen well at night
and there are yellows, pinks, and reds
there are oranges, but somebody said
depression is a painful sight
cuz you see the world in black and white

and oh... I've been down
so lonely... tired old clown
still smiling... still hope survives
just dreaming the dream that keeps me alive

all I ever wanted was to love someone
with all of my love
with all I dream of

and all I ever wanted was to be love the same
with all I could give
each moment we live

  all I ever wanted...


and I give all I've got every time
every moment can become another rhyme
but so far no one will share it all
who is really not afraid to fall?

so alone, so much sorrow
hoping she will come tomorrow
just to shine a little light
in my bluish black and white

always thought that she would be
the one missing part of me
that created my rainbow
  but little did I know...


one night I heard a song
an angel in my dreams
sang to my deepest heart
opened my mind it seems
and this is what I heard
I'll sing it now for you
remember every word
for every word is true

you are the rainbow
it is all in your mind
as simple as it seems
to think is to find

you are the rainbow
is all in your heart
as simple as it seems
right there from the start


and oh... I can fly
still lonely... but feeling high
and smiling... cuz hope survives
in dreaming the dream that keeps me alive

all I ever wanted was to love someone
with all of my love
with all I dream of

and all I ever wanted was to be love the same
with all I could give
each moment we live


and oh I am no longer alone
cuz I can paint a rainbow on my own
and I can see the rainbow in you
it feels like we're friends we always knew


so whatever you want
for all eternity
just believe in yourself
and sing along with me

I am the rainbow
it is all in my mind
as simple as it seems
to think is to find

I am the rainbow
it is all in my heart
as simple as it seems
right from the start

all I ever wanted was to love someone
with all of my love
with all I dream of

and all I ever wanted was to be love the same
with all I could give
each moment we live
