This is clearly about God. The reference to a rainbow is biblical. The rainbow is the sign of a promise from God. The song is set up like some psalms in the bible where the message is essentially a complaint to God. But at the end of psalme that are structured like this the writers attitude shifts to trust and hope and faith in God. Van's lyrics are a strong complaint to God and the we have to imagine that God answers him, giving him hope and faith. And Van says.. That was a wonderful remark. Then Van acknowledges that he was ignorant in his complaint.. I had my eyes closed in the dark. The song is beautiful and a modern psalm written by Van.
