The Dream
Sure Conviction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing on my porch
In the middle of the night
I see a rainbow shining so bright
Colors red to blue lighting up the sky

I see a rainbow shining so bright
Horses dancing on the rainbow one by one
Following the star the Chosen One
A bright light flashing for all the world to see

In an instant He's gone to eternity
In an instant He's gone to eternity
Colors red to blue lighting up the sky
I see a rainbow shining so bright

He's coming back
In power and glory




We need to look inside our hearts
And see if we're ready
