Stand Inside The Rainbow

Fear holds us to ransom

And it bears a heavy cost

It causes isolation

And then we feel quite lost

It’s in the grip of worry

That darkness can unfold

It feeds on desperation

And puts our life on hold

Take the gift of love

And wrap it up in pink

The colour of compassion

Is deeper than you think

Take the gift of healing

And wrap it up in blue

The colour of serenity

A chance to start anew

Take the gift of peace

And wrap it up in white

A symbol of perfection

Seen in a flash of light

Take the gift of faith

And wrap it up in gold

A treasure that lies within

That can’t be bought or sold

Take the gift of life

And wrap it up in red

Stretching into eternity

With all that’s thought and said

Stand inside the rainbow

When all around is pain

The healing rays of colour

Refracted in the rain
