Lyrics

 * And no one knows it&mdash;
 * Where she came from, where she's going.
 * And once you meet her,
 * You will find that something inside is changing.


 * She's like a rainbow&mdash;
 * When she comes up, all are lit up.
 * And when she whispers,
 * You will hear this: "Don't chase after rainbows."


 * High on a hill, there's a green meadow.
 * All around, it's breezin',
 * She's smilin',
 * She'll let them sing angel songs.


 * She's like a fairy
 * When she's trembling, when she's dancing.
 * Just see her rambling&mdash;
 * How it's nice to follow her to the end.


 * You want some meanings of the life,
 * And go to see her.
 * Don't ask her too much&mdash;
 * Oh yes, she'll be out of your sight
 * Right over.


 * High on a hill, there's a green meadow.
 * All around, it's breezin',
 * She's smilin',
 * She'll let them sing angel songs.


 * Everyone is sad and blue when she is far away.
 * Don't you know it's time to pray she'll be coming soon?
 * And you think you hear her voice ringing from above.


 * And no one knows it&mdash;
 * Where she came from, where she's going.
 * And once you meet her,
 * Maybe you'll stay forever young.
