Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found a feather in a parking lot It fit my pocket like it knew my name The crow kept flying without looking back Guess nothing holy ever stays the same The creek still bends around the stone Neither one is trying to win The sky keeps changing shirts all day That's a pretty good way to live [Chorus] Rainbows and arrows Both come after weather One says, "Slow down." One says, "Get yourself together." Laugh with the sunshine Cry with the sparrows Life keeps handing us Rainbows and arrows [Verse 2] There's a little fool inside my chest He whistles louder than the king He gets lost on purpose now and then Just to hear the forest sing My shadow walks a step behind Some days ahead instead We trade our hats at every dawn Neither one is wrong [Chorus] Rainbows and arrows The circle and the line One teaches wonder One teaches time The river never worries Where tomorrow flows It just keeps carrying Everyone it knows [Bridge] Every seed breaks open Every bird leaves home Every mountain started out As a pebble rolling on If every answer stayed an answer We'd never learn to roam Maybe every winding road Is simply trying to get us home [Final Chorus] Rainbows and arrows Ups and downs and all arounds The wind don't owe us reasons Still it makes a lovely sound I'll wave to every stranger Like I've known them all along If the world is learning how to breathe I'll be happy singing along Rainbows and arrows That's enough for me The whole wide world Growing into what it's meant to be.
