Here we go kids! Both the beginning and end of a long-time-coming project is starting….er ending…er starting???!!!! I’m super pleased to announce the launch of my new single “Rainbow”! Scheduled to be released this July! I wrote this song for and about a friend who was constantly having to say goodbye to close friends. Living overseas, we are often seeing new friends coming and old friends leaving. The last 5 years have been no exception, especially with the onset and continual regulations of Covid. While we are thankful those regulations have ceased, we still find ourselves without our close friends that have moved away and moved on. So how do we stay encouraged? How do we build and sustain community in an environment that is like a revolving door? There HAS to be something and SOMEONE else that enters in, sustains, and builds. And it certainly isn’t any of us! Below are the lyrics for this song and I hope to post some video previews as well. Above is the photo that I plan to use as inspiration for the cover. Enjoy and let me know what you think!!
Rainbow
It’s always harder
for those left behind
I will talk, who will listen
incomplete circle of joy
Knowing the end is here won’t make
for easier times
Will I get to see you again
in this world of goodbyes?
Pre-Chorus
Clear as day, big as the sun
It’s giving when you’re giving up.
Like hope, high full bright and long,
there’s a rainbow of promise to come.
Chorus
He has been faithful before.
He will be faithful again.
We have these rainbows of promises,
They come so we won’t forget.
What we can’t see is still here,
so we can wear through the tear.
There are these rainbows of promises,
they come though the rain won’t stop.
The roots were thick and deep
The leaves were green
The flowers grew open and true but then
so did the weeds
You pulled, you pulled, you pulled too full
were the weeds
This heartache is weathered and gone
gone are the leaves
