Lately those rainbows be comin' round like everyday
Deep in the struggle I have found the beauty of me
God is watchin' and the Devil finally let me be
Here in this moment to myself”

Where did today go?
Why does it rain so much when it says so?
Let me show you all the beautiful things
What do they know?
Come taste the rainbow
Always gonna live like it's my last day”

you held it in your hands

you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon.
