RAINBOW RING LYRICS
Lisa McDavid | Mark Paul Smith | Danny Jones
VERSE 1
June twenty-first, the shortest night for the moon
It was the longest day
You told your queen goodnight
then you turned to the light
Alone in the park trying not to cry
When something made me, look up to the sky
CHORUS
There was, a rainbow ring
Shining around the sun
It made my heart sing
Sing for you
​
VERSE 2
What’s it like Daddy, to feel the perfectness of GodI can only imagineI hear your music through the light of love
​
CHORUS
There was, a rainbow ring
Shining around the sun
Yes, a rainbow ring
Shining around the sun
It makes my heart sing
Sing for you, sing for you
My heart sings for you, my heart sings for you
ABOUT THE SONG
Lisa McDavid | Mark Paul Smith | Danny Jones
Rainbow Ring:
The song was written the day Lisa McDavid lost her father, the guiding light of her life. The rainbow ring around the sun was the real and spectacular inspiration for the song. Lisa cried as her soaring voice captured the heights and depths of loss. Yet, the joy of hearing her father’s music “through the light of love” serves as inspiration to anyone healing through grief.
