I finally belong
The lonely night is gone I won't forget it
And all the love you show
I gotta let you know
You won't regret it
Now you're in my heart
We'll never be apart No-o-o
And it might take the longest time
Til we're finding the rainbow's end
But it don't matter rain or shine
If we're finding the rainbow ...
Free the love that's burning in my soul
The thorn was in my side In loneliness I cried: "Hey, I'm in trouble!
I'm punching at the walls
They're laughing as I fall
Seeing double"
But now you're in my heart
We'll never be apart No-o-o
And it might take the longest time
Til we're finding the rainbow's end
But it don't matter rain or shine If we're finding the rainbow
... Free the love that's burning in my soul
[x3] ... in my soul Free the love that's burning in my soul [x3] ... in my soul
