lyrics

Home can seem so empty when you’re always digging for more
Too driven to enjoy the calm, too anxious to score
Even more things and more dollars, but what’s it all for?
You can’t be at peace if you’re always fighting a war

We’re always searching for the pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow
Always looking for something more – what, we don’t know
We’re searching north and south, east and west for something we can hold
And we’re always missing the rainbow while we’re searching for the gold

It can be a long long tale from childhood to dust
Seeking out knowledge and wisdom, resisting the greed and the lust
We do what we can, but it seems that we must
Let all we believe in fade or corrode into rust

We’re always searching for the pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow
Always looking for something more – what, we don’t know
We’re searching north and south, east and west for something we can hold
And we’re always missing the rainbow while we’re searching for the gold

People running here and there
Maddened lemmings don’t seem to care
Scrambling, scrounging, pulling out their hair
Crazy striving to go nowhere

When the setting sun drives you to use the last of it’s light
Why not stop and look at the colors, the silhouettes of birds taking flight?
Watch the western horizon as the pastels fade into the night
And the stars come out one by one, shining down so bright

We’re always searching for the pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow
Always looking for something more – what, we don’t know
We’re searching north and south, east and west for something we can hold
And we’re always missing the rainbow while we’re searching for the gold

Mike Birch Methuen, Massachusetts

For Mike, it all started on a Sunday night in 1964 ... February 9 ... the Beatles took the stage on the Ed Sullivan show and while the girls in the audience screamed, his parents and grandparents exclaimed about the "long hairs", a 7-year-old boy thought, 'I'm going to learn to play the guitar one day!' ... more
