Story Behind The Song
When I travel by air late at night or early in the morning, I noticed that there is a bright band of color at the horizon that signals the start of dawn or the end of sunset. It was inspirational to see it and ponder how others might be able to ease their troubles if they saw it.

When you're in an airplane flying at dawn, viewing the band of color at the earth's horizon makes you forget your troubles and inspires you to get past those troubles and keep going with your life.

Lyrics
Reaching For a Pot of Gold
(Anthony Marques
When you fly through the sky
In a jet plane up high
And the world with its problems spins by.
As the sun rises up,
It makes you forget what
Has been troubling you all through the night.
Chorus - You should see the sun rise from a window of a jet.
It's not something likely that you will soon forget.
Bright band of color shines rays of hope,
Like a rainbow reaching for a pot of gold.
It's a radiant place
So you can escape
Where the yellow and vivid reds blaze.
If you're down on your luck
And your troubles stack up
Oh, I know what will chase them away.
Chorus - You should see the sun rise from a window of a jet.
It's not something likely that you will soon forget.
Bright band of color shines rays of hope,
Like a rainbow reaching for a pot of gold.
When you fly through the sky
In a jet plane up high
And the world with its problems spins by.
As the sun rises up,
It makes you forget what
Has for so long been troubling your mind.
Chorus - You should see the sun rise from a window of a jet.
It's not something likely that you will soon forget.
Bright band of color shines rays of hope,
Like a rainbow reaching for a pot of gold.
