Misheard Lyrics:
I've seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many stones.
I found a bunny then I drank some hot water everyday.
You saved my life, it's ten shades a gray.
I pray all ten fade away as I praise Him for the Sundays.
And life has promises too. Well me my faith can I do
The many chances I blew whatever in my life to anew.
Clear blue and unconditional skies have dried
The tears from my eyes, no more baloney for eyes.
My only freakin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an indoor pain that it keeps 'em in the forty grain.
Who's to blame for tootin' canes and do your own thang?
What a shame, you shootin' ankles. Someone else is great.
You plain and insane in this day in time for fun and games.
My grandma saved my sister, and she piqued into your own mind.
Dreams are hopeless aspirations, and hopes are comin' true
Believe it yourself. The rest is up to me and…
I found a bunny then I drank some hot water everyday.
You saved my life, it's ten shades a gray.
I pray all ten fade away as I praise Him for the Sundays.
And life has promises too. Well me my faith can I do
The many chances I blew whatever in my life to anew.
Clear blue and unconditional skies have dried
The tears from my eyes, no more baloney for eyes.
My only freakin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an indoor pain that it keeps 'em in the forty grain.
Who's to blame for tootin' canes and do your own thang?
What a shame, you shootin' ankles. Someone else is great.
You plain and insane in this day in time for fun and games.
My grandma saved my sister, and she piqued into your own mind.
Dreams are hopeless aspirations, and hopes are comin' true
Believe it yourself. The rest is up to me and…
Original Lyrics:
I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray.
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
I pray all ten fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days.
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew.
Clear blue and unconditional skies have dried
The tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries.
My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain.
Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey to crime.
I say the system got you victim to your own mind.
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of comin' true.
Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you.
Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray.
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
I pray all ten fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days.
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew.
Clear blue and unconditional skies have dried
The tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries.
My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain.
Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey to crime.
I say the system got you victim to your own mind.
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of comin' true.
Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you.
