Where Rainbows Never Die Lyrics

Edit Lyrics I'm an old man nowI can't do nothingYoung folks don't pay me no mindBut in my day I sure was somethingBefore I felt the heavy hand of timeI'm an old man nowI'm bound for gloryTime to lay these burdens downHad enough of this old world of worryGonna trade my troubles for a crown[Chorus]I will make my way across the fields of cottonAnd wade through muddy waters one last timeAnd in my dreams I come out cleanWhen I reach the other sideWaste away the sunsetsWhere rainbows never dieI've got on last thing to doOne more mile before I'm throughCasting off these early chainsGoing where theres no more pain[Chorus]I'm an old man nowCan't do nothingYoung folks don't pay me no mind New!

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is simply beautiful... The lyrics, alongside the music, create an awesome image in my mind... The elderly, weary soul heading for salvation, to be in eternal communion with the Lord "I AM," full of love and beauty. This is awesome...

It's not waste away the sunsets. It's west of where the sun sets.
