He sang his song:
I was traveling down that lonely road,where life was meant for me.
That I could see a rainbow. I traveled a 100,000,I tried to make a living
of my own.I tried to get back home.I could see a rainbow of many colors and the rain
started to come down.I could dream of a rainbow.I was just a poor boy as you can see.
I could see a rainbow and I could see red ,white and blue and I traveled 100,000
and I could see a rainbow. And I could dream.
