Reaching For Rainbows (raw)
Don't cry
I won't cry
Their paths
Never did cross
Tombstones covered in moss
Boys mind filled with loss
For all he was to be
On the other hand
Stands him a man
To give he love give him all that he can
But this boy couldn't stay
So he RAN, RAN away
Little story that they always used to tell
Same old story that my people know so well
Two boys in love holding hands in the park
I guess it didn't really matter how long before dark
They thought they could their love rain down
Unknowing smiles become knowing frowns
Cause when you see what trouble they were in
It makes you wonder if LOVE will ever win
Two kids were standing on their tips-toes
Reaching for rainbows
'Til the world knocked them down for a while
Couple broken hearts childhood lovers grow apart
Thinking one day they'll find
But only one came out in style
Rest in power to all of you
Who couldn't pull through
Gay kid prayed so hard to be straight
Raised right in a church of hate
Years and years he grew more irate
'Til he slit his limp wrists and bled out in 8
He remembered those walks in the park
Suddenly everything went dark
Guess he was called to the lord
That he took his life for on the bathroom floor
Preacher man wants to send him off well
(As the do)
Funeral to save his soul
Closing ring of the zealots church bells
Never was there a heaven, nor there a hell
Guess he won't be in heaven today
Guess he won't be in hell or anything anyway
So what was it
What was it all for?!
In the end
Thought he had to to take his lovely life away
Take his beauty from the world at a very young age
Well, just because
Cause he was GAY
Wish he stayed
Stayed one more day
Teenage lover did a Facebook search
Hoping not to see the worst
What he saw well it made him break down
And his 5 year old son asked him what he'd found
He explained he knew someone long ago
A good friend just unable to grow
Kid asked why he said he didn't know just said son
Keep reaching for rainbows
Two kids were standing on their tips-toes
Reaching for rainbows
'Til the world knocked them down for a while
Couple broken hearts childhood lovers grow apart
Thinking one day they'll find
But only one came out in style
I won't cry
Their paths
Never did cross
Tombstones covered in moss
Boys mind filled with loss
For all he was to be
On the other hand
Stands him a man
To give he love give him all that he can
But this boy couldn't stay
So he RAN, RAN away
Little story that they always used to tell
Same old story that my people know so well
Two boys in love holding hands in the park
I guess it didn't really matter how long before dark
They thought they could their love rain down
Unknowing smiles become knowing frowns
Cause when you see what trouble they were in
It makes you wonder if LOVE will ever win
Two kids were standing on their tips-toes

'Til the world knocked them down for a while
Couple broken hearts childhood lovers grow apart
