Behind every rainbow there's a drop of rain
Just as behind a smile there is some hint of pain
Behind every mountain is a hill so small
Behind every winner a loser had to fall

Behind the brightest star the sky is shadowed dark
Behind every trophy some arrow found its mark
Behind the victorious war many soldiers had to die
Behind the drops of dew some part of heaven had to cry

But behind every single cloud there is a line of gold
And behind the greatest task there is a heart so bold
Behind the bravest man a mother stood so tall and proud
Behind reconciled parents there was a loving child

The front may seem both good and bad
A person may be sad or glad
Be forward when you march along a line
But don't forget to sometimes look behind
