Bernard Snyder - 'Hear Me'

I once sat in an audience
with elderly men,
I promised them I would die
and come back again,
some of them were smart to listen, others laughed
so I came to confirm all I said
shall come to past,
I appear before you today
in a sea of clouds
brought with me a rainbow
that could be seen for miles,
it's not that I'm arrogant
or like being feared,
I just want all to know I'll return
so get prepared.
