Today I met the rainbow man

He's living in a rainbow land

Between the green and pink around his rim

He says the sky is not only blue

Imagine what he'd say to you

What do you think that you would say to him?

The rainbow man shines

I've searched for his brilliant tones

So forlorn through a million zones

For more than forty days and forty nights

I finally found him and I find

That he's the only one who shines

When all the fears and tears put out my lights

The rainbow man's a beacon boy

His only reason is his joy

And you know that kind of freedom can't be wrong

The world's been searching for his rays

For forty nights and forty days

But you might find him shining in this song
