Catching the rainbow

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could, I would build a mountain

You could call your very own

A place to find serenity

A place just to be alone.

If I could, I would take your troubles

And toss them into the sea

But all these things

I'm finding are impossible for me.

I can not build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair

But let me be what I know best

A Friend who's always there.

I promise to defend you

Should the occasion ever rise

And I promise to wipe away the tears

Which might stream from your weeping eyes.

Let me be the trusted Friend

The one that you know best

I will never leave you

On that you can surely rest.
