Rainbow Children Lyrics - The Rainbow Children - Prince

"With the accurate understanding of God and His law 

they went about the work of building a new nation: 

the Rainbow Children. 

"The Wise One who understood the law 

that was handed down from God long ago 

reflected the true meaning 2 his woman every day. 

And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care and keeping 

4 she trusted he would lead in the right way. 

Her children in subjection 2 her, and she in subjection 2 the Wise One. 

The Wise One in subjection 2 the only Begotten One. 

"And 4ever is in subjection 2 God." 

CHORUS: 

Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise 

Flyin' upon the wings of the new translation 

See them fly, fly 

The covenant will be kept this time 

Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise

Rainbow Children, it's time 2 rise 

Rainbow Children, it's time 2 rise 

"As prophesized, the Wise One and his woman were tempted by the Resistor. 

He, knowing full well the Wise One's love 4 God, 

assimilated the woman first and only. 

Quite naturally, chaos ensued and she and 5 others were banished 

from the rainbow 4ever." 

CHORUS {x2} 

Who is your real father? 

The everlasting one 

The one who came from nothing 

And yet from this one, everything comes 

The one who commands your momma 

With the simple phrase, "I am" 

And every time that she obeys 

She gives birth 2 the Son of Man 

Who is this?

The agreement: 

With every verse, we keep it so 

Never changing one piece of it in fear of what would unfold 

The scales would then become unbalanced and thus begin the fall 

The sin of one would then become the sin of one and all - and call... 

Rise {repeated} 

(What U want?) 

(The Rainbow Children) 

(Can't U see it?) 

(We need 2, we need 2) 

(Oh Lord...) 

(Oh, we, we need 2 rise, Rainbow Children) 

(Rainbow Children, Rainbow Children) 

(This will be the way - build a new nation) 

Rise, Rainbow Children, rise 

Rise, Rainbow Children, rise 

"The Wise One who understood the law that was handed down 

from God long ago, held fast in his belief that the Lord 

would bring him another one who loved him so."
