about

Dear me when I was 12 years old,

This song is for you.

Love,
Terry

lyrics

I know it feels
Like you don't belong
Like in you something's wrong

I know how it feels
When they won't leave you alone
Or just keep unbeknown

I know about the chills (Chills)
The harm the pain instills (Stills)
It's like trouble can't wait to see you (You)
Look there it is getting ready to greet you

But you don't hide
Wouldn't dare to run
Far better for them to meet you
See how hard it's gonna be to beat you

And I say hey
Little rainbow child
They've never seen such a fellow
Rockin' that pink and yellow

Oh oh hey
Little rainbow child
They've never seen such a fellow
Rockin' that pink and yellow
Oh oh hoo hoo

Now you got 'em on the run
If it seems like you've won
It's your dreams playing dumb

For every name
Or cruel thing they say
Is ten more summers of drought
A whole lifetime of doubt

And next thing you know (Know)
You're invisible (Ble)
So don't ever allow it (It)
Ain't nothing they can do about it

Stand in your pride
Stand in the sun
Cuz who else would you be without it
Learn to love it never disavow it

And I say hey
Little rainbow child
They've never seen such a fellow
Rockin' that pink and yellow

Oh oh hey
Little rainbow child
They've never seen such a fellow
Rockin' that pink and yellow
Oh oh hoo hoo

(Chills)
(Stills)
(You)

(Know)
(Ble)
(It)

And I say hey hey hey
Little rainbow child
You gotta love yourself rainbow child
Gotta love yourself rainbow

And I say hey hey hey
Little rainbow child
Look at me little rainbow child
I was you little rainbow child
