The Rainbow's End

Over the rainbow in ruby red shoes

With a case of unchaseable blues.

Never knowing

Quite where you're going,

Just that you're going too far to keep

The heartache from going too deep.

Nothing but scarecrows to show you the way

And a band full of pipers to pay -

Play along, baby, right or wrong maybe

There's a yellow brick road to follow.

Find your way home,

Where you belong,

Safe in a melody -

'Cause a singer goes on singing

Like a song is her best friend,

And music is the rainbow's end.

Sing for your supper, bewitch with a smile.

All the rage, center stage for a while.

You can make it through,

One more old soft-shoe

And a torch song or two.

Until you turn back the years,

Cry all our tears,

Chase all our fears away -

'Cause a singer goes on singing

Like a song is her best friend,

And music is the rainbow's end.

Little girl oh, so lost -

What did you find,

And what did it cost?

Find your way home

Where you belong

Safe in a melody -

'Cause a singer goes on singing

Like a song is her best friend,

And music is the rainbow's end.

Spotlight on and down in one!

Make the music climb!

When the song is done -

Then sing it one more time!

For you and your best friend:

The rainbow's end...
