Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
Catch a rainbow, fly it high
Weave its colours through the sky
Hold the colours, spin them fast
Make your sunshine rainbow last

Don't go chasing that pot of gold
It's only a story you know
It shines for a fool so I've been told
Hang on to your rainbow

With friends around to lend a hand
You stand four square and tall
But when fairweather friendship ends
And you're trying not to fall

All day long you sang your song
Each line in tune you played
But when cold dark nighttime's coming on
And the music starts to fade

[1987:] This started life trying to be a song for children, but changed somewhere along the way. It simply says, when times are bad hang on to your dreams. (Notes Ian Walker, 'Flying High')
