They put on the rainbow
And it all came down to you
And wonder for the world that looked at the love that was set on stereo
And the way that you smile
That stayed in love aglow to the end of the rainbow
And the love that I know
Way up high in the sky low
With the feeling we've been living in our hearts oh
I know I can change the world
You can count on me now and I can show
What you mean to me now
I feel it all around
I cry because I am proud
My thoughts are in the clouds
My spirit is on the ground
It makes me feel like I am pounding out the sound
As long as you're around
I know you and me can can be bright and beautiful like the rainbow flags hanging high in this town
About the Creator
The Salt in her Voice
The myth says mermaids sing to lure sailors to their death. But why? The ocean is huge. Only 5 percent has been discovered by man. Why would a creature of the sea with that much space to roam ever care about the fate of men on ships? The answer, as it turns out, is not a simple one at all. The truth about the myth is older than the tides. Long ago before the first ship ever cut across the surface, the sea made a pact with the sky. The sky would take the souls of the drowned. Anyone who died in storms or any quiet accidents of the deep would have their soul lifted upward to the Heavens while the bodies would remain below, feeding the oceans endless hunger. The greedy sea however wanted more souls than the sky would claim. So it created mermaids. It gave them beautiful voices woven from currents and moonlight. It commanded them to sing. "Bring forth the ones who float where they should sink." it instructed them. So they did. They never killed out of malice but out of obligation. They sung to summon, not to seduce. A mermaid's voice could loosen the tether between the body and soul, making any man step willingly into the water. The sea would take the body and the sky would take the soul. Balance maintained.
