Why are there so many
Expressing curiosity about the abundance of songs dedicated to rainbows.
Songs about rainbows

Rainbows are visions

They're only illusions

And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some chose to
Referring to societal teachings about rainbows and some choosing to believe them.

The lovers, the dreamers and me
