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

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

Want you to know now, can you understand?




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

I remember hearing it playing in HMV Birmingham City centre as I strolled past on my way to Snow Rock to pick up my new Marin B17 downhill mtb and yes the sun was indeed shining 🌞
Awesome tune by a true Legend.

Savage tune. Was in Blackpool on holidays when this came out. Thought it was 99 but my mind it a bit mushy now so could’ve been 00. Those were the days. Enjoy your weekend
