VERSE 01: France, you never faltered when the war clouds gathered o’er,/Undaunted as of yore, your sons respond once more./On the page of time your deeds will live thru future years,/Tho’ smiling fields are flooded with your tears,/Thru’ the storm a light shines down on you,/Can’t you see the rainbow breaking thru? CHORUS: France, there’s a rainbow in the sky,/Weep no more, can’t you see it shining?/France, brush the tear drop from your eye,/Clouds of war have a silver lining/See it bending o’er from the Western shore,/Growing brighter day by day/Just see those colors shining through:/It’s the old Red, White and Blue,/A rainbow from the U.S.A! VERSE 02: France, your own Tri color and Old Glory seem to blend/The stars above attend, they dot the rainbow’s end./Lift your eyes and read the message in Red, White and Blue,/A service flag from Heaven gleaming thru/Thru’ the storm a light shines down on you,/Can’t you see the rainbow breaking thru? | |
