Rainbow Soul is a song that has a great deal of emphasis put upon the message of inclusivity, unity, and hope. Right from the start of the song, Chris Oledude shows that trust is something that needs to have an enormous amount of emphasis placed upon it. When it comes to getting something positive achieved, it’s not always an easy journey that one has to make, but it has to be done, which Oledude signifies through his emphasis that to gain something of value there has to be struggle with the uncomfortable reality of problems such as poverty, politics, or social hindrances.

Oledude’s use of repetition and affirmations helps to reinforce this theme of collective action. Lines about finding the “rainbow” within everyone’s soul are at once a figure of speech and a rallying cry to embrace differences. The themes here are clear: every individual has a role to play in a bigger picture of collective humanity, and happiness, suffering, love, and hope are feelings everyone shares. By repeating phrases which bring “you” and “me” into alignment with “we” and “our,” this song makes a statement about togetherness rather than divisiveness.

One thing which is most interesting about the lyrics is the way in which the artist is able to balance the idea of self-reflection with social awareness. With the help of the lines in the verses about empathy and care, the artist is also emphasizing the need to view other people in the reflection of our own selves and wish those people well too. On the other hand, the artist is also pointing out the need for concern about the comfort, health, and happiness of all other people in the world, taking into consideration the distinctions in opinion or background in spite of the need for the understanding that the basic demands and emotions are the same in everyone.

Another theme that plays an important role in the song is hope. Oledude uses images of light in tunnels and rainbows in the sky every day in order to reassure the listener that it is possible to overcome difficulties. The message conveyed by the lyrics is that hope is an active process and that it is something in which one has to take part and work together. There is an element of optimism in the song that although difficulties exist, they can still be faced through a sense of bravery and together.

The song also praises the value of historical contemplations and endurance. When oledude speaks of the “history of change,” he draws attention to the sacrifices involved in constructing the “dream of freedom and equality.” To bring the audience’s focus to those people who had contributed towards the progress by “sweating blood” and “giving their lives” for its achievement, the lines convey the burden of responsibility that the contemporary generation has towards continuing the “dream” of the past.

Overall, “Rainbow Soul” expresses a mix of optimism, empathy, and action in a very straightforward and simple fashion. The message in the song is inspirational without being preachy. With the mix of taking care of oneself, the shared experience of humanity, taking responsibility, and hope for the future, Oledude has created a message that is not only understandable but also inspirational. The message of the song about including, trusting, and working together is an honest anthem that urges people to find the rainbow in themselves and in others. 

The refrain, or repetition, that is established in this song also has a uniting effect that asserts its message in terms of lyrics. The entire song, from its verses to its bridges, asserts connection, justice, or hope, making “Rainbow Soul” a song that is full of lyrics celebrating mankind in terms of its ability to offer hope for tomorrow.
