Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you want to move your dancing feet
When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too

To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know now, can you understand?
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you want to move your dancing feet
When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too

To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know now, can you understand?

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe? (I'm a rainbow too)
I'm a rainbow too
I'm a rainbow too
I'm a rainbow too
I'm a rainbow too
I'm a rainbow too
I'm a rainbow too
I'm a rainbow too

To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can
Here I stand

To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know now, can you understand?




To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know now, can you understand?

I thought it was a hit in around 1995 in England, U.K. not 1999 .
I even remember the Funxstar Deluxe bit ! I have a good memory for music !
