This Side of the Rainbow - Atomic Opera

This Side of the Rainbow Lyrics

I've heard stories of love and stories of war
But they all rinse like a dream
Stains me with a memory
Of a place I've never seenIn the day I fight for who I am
(At night I dream of who I'll be)
In the day I fight for who I amOn this side of the rainbow
In a world of black and white
On this side of the rainbow
If I could only reach the sky
On this side of the rainbow
Someday I'll fly up all the way
To the other sideI've heard empty words and lullabies
Like a pendulum that sways
My hope 'till I am hypnotized
But, of course, they fade awayIn the daydream where I'd like to be
(At night I dream of who I am)
In the daydream where I'd like to beOn this side of the rainbow
In a world of black and white

On this side of the rainbow
If I could only reach the sky
On this side of the rainbow
Someday I'll fly up all the way
To the other sideOn the other side
I'll be there someday
On the other side of the rainIn the day I fight for who I am
(At night I dream of who I'll be)
In the day I fight for who I amOn this side of the rainbow
In a world of black and white
On this side of the rainbow
If I could only reach the sky
On this side of the rainbow
In a world of black and white
On this side of the rainbow
Someday I'll fly up all the way
To the other sideThey all fade like a dream
Like a dream
