Lyrics:

Here we are, trying to locate the rainbow stream
There I go, over and under again
He thinks he knows where I am without seeing me
And there I stand in the shadow
He casts behind and I am ready holding the net
He will need when the fly starts to rise again

This is a story about William McGovern
Who lives undercover come rise, come fall
He doesn't know it yet, I feel the pain it gets
We never speak 'cause he'd run away
And I think he's a little like me

Hey, father, sing me a song about rock n' roll
I remember Led Zeppelin II in your living room
And I need to be what you would be if you were free
Dare I stand in the spotlight in your imagination?
Brother, holding the rhythm I'll need
To keep nightmares from haunting me

This is a story about William McGovern
Who lives undercover come rise, come fall
He doesn't know it yet, I feel the pain it gets
We never speak, cause he runs away
And I think he's a little like me

I think he's a little like me
Think he's a little like me

Hey, father, only the names have been changed

Hey, father, sing me a song about rock n' roll
Hey, father, sing me a song about rock n' roll
Hey, yeah
