Reach


          For The


          Rainbow

Words & Music by Marino Boni

This is a song dedicated to individuals living with the effects of acquired brain injury who strive to recapture a greater quality of life.

Reach For The Rainbow

By walls I am protected / the kind you cannot see

Barriers of thoughts and emotions / that hide the real me

Bricks of pain and sorrow / disguise my outer charm

Built them for security / to keep me safe from harm

Today I'm their prisoner

locked away here alone

The real person inside of me

is not the one I show

I've lived with ancient voices / many times they tore me apart

Now I heal myself with loving words / to mend my wounded heart

Who can ever rescue me / not knowing what is wrong

They can't see my problem / I've hidden it so long.

Today I'm their prisoner

locked away here alone

The real person inside of me

is not the one I show

Walked through the darkest canyons / lost sight of the sky

No moon, no stars to guide me / somehow I got by

I can make my life / what ever I want it to be

There's a piece of rainbow / waiting there for me.

I'm going to reach for that rainbow / reach through the rain

Reach for that rainbow / reach past the pain

I'm going to reach for that rainbow / reach past the pain.
