[Verse 1] When boys make love And hold each other close Skin to skin Like a tender little oath May God bless you, please Over every brave embrace All people need love And a gentle place [Pre-Chorus] You were made for care You were made for light Hands across the hurt Pulling day from night [Chorus] Rainbow prayer Cover us all Rainbow prayer When we rise, when we fall Love is holy Love is clear Rainbow prayer Bring us near [Verse 2] Mothers, sons, and friends On the same old crowded street Everybody aches Everybody needs to eat Need a warm hand Need a name that stays Need someone to say You are safe today [Pre-Chorus] Only God can know Every color in our souls Every broken heart Every wound made whole [Chorus] Rainbow prayer Cover us all Rainbow prayer When we rise, when we fall Love is holy Love is clear Rainbow prayer Bring us near [Bridge] If the world turns cold We still gather close In the deepest dark Let mercy grow Only God who made Love and humankind Sees the gold in us And the light we find [Final Chorus] Rainbow prayer Cover us all Rainbow prayer When we rise, when we fall Love is holy Love is clear Rainbow prayer Bring us near Rainbow prayer Cover us all Rainbow prayer We are here
