The End of the Rainbow

My mommy once told me
I don't always get what I want
but now that I have a choice
too many possibilities to flaunt.

A bright purple pony
with laces in its hair
and it walks on the clouds
soft spoken and fair.

Or maybe a big green dragon
with fire in its breath
but its sharp pointy teeth
would scare me to death.

What about an ice cream Sundae
covered in brown chocolate sauce
but no ugly red cherries
in the garbage I'd toss.

No, I know what I want
and it's nothing I can touch
out of all the possibilities
I don't want much.

To tell you the truth
Mr. Little Green Man
You have to know the story
my brother's off in a far away land.

He's fighting for these people
that he's never met before
People that don't have as much as us
People that are poor.

He's trying to take down
a very evil man
he wants to be a hero
as much as he can.

So this is my wish
to find in the end
I'm hoping your luck
to my brother you'll send.

Bring him home safe and sound
don't leave him in the cold
let him come home from this fight
let him grow old.

At the end of these colors
I hope that I find
my brother at home
and my own peace of mind.
