Lyrics
Where the Sunset Meets the Rainbow at the End of the Day
Verse 1
You watch them move with ease,
Gliding weightless with the breeze.
But not for you this graceful flight,
Instead the struggle and the fight.
Chorus
Don't give up — the struggle's the flame,
The trying, the failing still build you the same.
When the wind comes up and fills your sail,
You'll be ready to ride on the rising gale.
Through the waves, through the spray,
Where the rainbow meets the sunset at the end of the day.
Verse 2
The water waits, the air is still,
You push, you strive, you bend your will.
But even calm can hold a key,
It shapes the strength of who you'll be.
Chorus
Don't give up — the struggle's the flame,
The trying, the failing still build you the same.
When the wind comes up and fills your sail,
You'll be ready to ride on the rising gale.
Through the waves, through the spray,
Where the rainbow meets the sunset at the end of the day.
Bridge
The breeze comes clear across the bay,
It catches strong, it holds, it stays.
The lift is yours, the glide is near,
The ride begins, the course is clear.
Final Chorus
Don't give up — the struggle's the flame,
The journey itself still carries your name.
When the wind comes up and fills your sail,
You'll be ready to fly, you will prevail.
Through the waves, through the spray,
Where the rainbow meets the sunset at the end of the day.
