A


I felt the rain
and I rode
and rode
I know what
makes that mary
rhyme
The rainbow in the rain
rained down on me
again
again
again
Each of the days
I know
Before my time
were ancestors
who also rode
and I rode
and rode
The rainbow in the rain
rained down on me
again
again
I felt the rain
And I rode
on that sunny day
A
