The song is notable to be one of the only songs Ace Kefford sang lead vocals in.
Although meaning is debatable, the song seems to reference the ideology of religion saving us all from the inevitability of pollution destroying the earth.
[Verse 1]
First of all let me describe
Nature's struggle to survive
Just a weary group of people
Waiting for the world to end
[Verse 2]
Feel it spreading rapidly
Radioactivity
Bound together by a legend
To protect us and defend
[Chorus 1]
Lead us to the yellow rainbow
Just in case the earth should fall
If you find the yellow rainbow
You could save us all
[Verse 3]
Serpent's tongue from blackened cloud
Sometimes seems to speak out loud
Icy brew of winds prevailing
From the cauldrons of the storm
[Verse 4]
Hear the children's voices plead
Please don't let the sky fall in
We might find a yellow rainbow
Ferry lights to keep them warm
[Chorus 1]
[Hook]
I can take the atmosphere and chase it down
Overactive mind works like an underground
[Verse 5]
Fear our hope's about to be
Buried in obscurity
Saw a man with eyes like saucers
Caught up in a web of light
Hatch that opened up before us
Cast a rainbow big and bright
[Chorus 2]
Lead us to the yellow rainbow
Just in case the earth should fall
