Rainbow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the snow is getting heavy,
Trees just bend and let it go,
So how many, so how many,
Broken bones it takes to know?
So wake up, my principessa,
And don't let me out of your sight,
I've seen the other side of rainbow
And it was black and white -
It was black and white.
I've seen the other side of rainbow,
It was black and white,
It was black and white.
The way to freedom, the way to freedom,
That I used to know,
Is in the deeper, is in the deeper knowing of my soul,
The way to freedom, the way to freedom that I used to know,
Ritmo lay ritmo lay
Ritmo lay the flow
When your enemy gets cruel,
Let 'em down, don't break him down,
And if you hear of something good,
Don't hold it back, pass it around!
So, wake up, my mamasutra
And don't let me out of your sight,
I've seen the other side of rainbow,
And it was black and white,
It was black and white.
I've seen the other side of rainbow,
It was black and white,
It was black and white.
The way to freedom, the way to freedom,
That I used to know,
Is in the deeper, is in the deeper knowing of my soul,
The way to freedom, the way to freedom that I used to know,
Ritmo lay ritmo lay
Ritmo lay the flow
The way to freedom, the way to freedom,
That I used to know,
Ritmo lay ritmo lay
Ritmo lay the flow
Hey,
Ya-hey
Ya-hey ya-hey
Hey,
Ya-hey
Ya-hey ya-hey
The way to freedom, the way to freedom,
That I used to know,
Is in the deeper, is in the deeper knowing of my soul,
Is in the deeper, is in the deeper knowing of my soul.
