(Together We Are) Rainbows in the Dark

(Together We Are) Rainbows in the Dark Lyrics

I wear a mask, it hides my face,

A fragile shield, a borrowed grace.

A painted smile, in black and white

The role I play to seem all right

Exhaustion, the illusion breaks, 

The weight is more than I can take.

The cracks reveal a hidden flame,

A secret calling out my name.

The spectrum, I can see them shine,

Colors, sparks, they’re just like mine.

Behind the mask, we play our part,

But together we are rainbows in the dark.

A shimmer grows, can’t look away,

It pulls me out of shades of gray.

A thousand hues, a single song,

At last I’ve found where I belong.


In parallel, we’re calm and true,

We don’t need words, I feel it’s you.

Rivers running side by side, 

With you I never have to hide.

The spectrum, I can see them shine,

Colors, sparks, they’re just like mine.

Behind the mask, we play our part,

But together we are rainbows in the dark.

The veil is thin, but hard to part,

It asks for sight that starts in heart.

You must listen with your soul,

To find the ones who make you whole.

The spectrum, I can see them shine,

Colors, sparks, they’re just like mine.

Behind the mask, we play our part,

But together we are rainbows in the dark.

Rainbows in the dark…

Together we are rainbows in the dark.

Together We Are Rainbows in the Dark is about the magic of recognition—the way, if we keep ourselves open to it, we can sometimes spot kindred spirits not through words, but through a spark that feels like home. Many of us are taught to hide our true colors, to act as though we fit neatly into the world’s expectations. But when you find someone who understands—you realize you were never alone.
