Spending my life chasing rainbows
Watching the days pass me by
Trying so hard to reach my goal
They say you can make it if you try
I like to think that's right
But poverty makes it so hard
You might as well keep on praying
Who can you ask but the Lord
You might as well keep on praying
Who can you ask but the Lord
It's time that we all stop scheming
Sitting around daydreaming
Living a life without meaning
People can't you hear what I say, hey hey hey hey hey hey
Spending my life chasing rainbows
Watching the days pass me by
Trying so hard to reach my goal
They say you can make it if you try
You might as well keep on praying yeah yeah
Who can you ask but the Lord
Hey, you might as well keep on praying, child
Who can you ask but the Lord, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah child
Chasing rainbows
Watching the days pass me by
All my dreams have been shattered, yeah
Sitting around just sitting by
Watching my days pass me by, yeah
Chasing rainbows that will never, never fly
Who can you turn to, hey hey hey hey
Try so hard to reach your goal
Watching my days pass me by
Keep on doing it
They say you can make it if you try, yeah
All right now
I'm spending my life chasing rainbows, Lord
Come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah
Woo hoo, yeah, it's all right
