Lyrics Michael Franks – Antonio’s Song (The Rainbow)

Text:

Antonio lives life’s frevo
Antonio prays for truth
Antonio says our friendship
Is a hundred-proof

The vulture that circles Rio
Hangs in this l.a. sky
The blankets they give the Indians
Only make them die

But sing the song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like light into the rainbow
We know the dance
We have, we still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like light into the rainbow

But sing the song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like light into the rainbow
We know the dance
We have, we still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like light into the rainbow

Antonio loves the desert
Antonio prays for rain
Antonio knows that pleasure
Is the child of pain
And lost in La Califusa
When most of my hope was gone

Antonio’s samba led me
To the Amazon

We sing the song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like light into the rainbow
We know the dance
We have, we still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like light into the rainbow
