They say that when a storm has passed,

A rainbow will come through.

That even in the darkness,

A light can shine, too.

But what if the sky is gray,

And doesn‘t let in the rainbow‘s light?

What if clouds frame the darkness,

And the light loses the fight?

Everyone has sorrow and pain in their heart

Even the happiest person on Earth.

But what of when happiness doesn’t survive,

And your life is ruled by hurt?

There’s two roads in every life

A choice each person has to make

One of ecstasy and joy

And one of distress and heartache.

Cutting through the middle

Is a third path, oft-traveled as well.

The path of the undecided

Upon which the mightiest have fell.

Those stuck on this path

Hover on the brink

Their luck changes from day to day

Their tough armor erodes, link by link.

These people must make the decision

To rise or fall, rejoice or mourn

Seems easy right now,

But wait till its your turn.

Will you shine at the top?

Will you be a never was?

Will you make the right decision;

Will the decision be just?

Because when a storm has passed,

A rainbow will always shine through

Whether the sky be blue or gray

Somewhere there will be color, too.

And even when the darkness

Consumes all in sight-

The light will simply harmonize

And it will always shine.
