Story Behind The Song

After visiting an orphanage in South Africa I wrote this song with Rob Bray for children to sing to children

Song Description

After visiting an orphanage in South Africa I wanted to write some songs for a charity CD that would raise enough money to pay for the children living theres education. I had no idea that we would raise enough money to pay for a years full-tome education for 72 children.

Lyrics

Building a rainbow of joy, building a rainbow of joy,
building a rainbow of joy,
Rainbow of joy, building a rainbow of joy,
Rainbow of joy, building a rainbow of joy,
Rainbow of joy, building a rainbow of joy.

In the world there are millions of children
With so many different lives
Some live in the desert, some live in the snow
Or up in the mountains so high
And each one of these many children
Could easily be a new friend
But as we're not able to meet them
This is the message we send

We're singing a song of friendship
To every girl and boy
Sending a message around the whole world
Building a rainbow of joy, rainbow of joy,
Building a rainbow of joy, rainbow of joy,
Building a rainbow of joy, rainbow of joy,
Building a rainbow of joy.

In the world there are millions of children
They play and they laugh and they cry
And though we may have very different lives
We're all just the same inside
We think of the ones who are lonely
And those who are frightened or ill
Though our hands cannot stretch across the sea
Our voices will reach them still

We're singing a song of friendship
To every girl and boy
Sending a message around the whole world
Building a rainbow of joy.

We're singing a song of friendship
To every girl and boy
Sending a message around the whole world
Building a rainbow of joy, rainbow of joy,
Building a rainbow of joy, rainbow of joy,
Building a rainbow of joy, rainbow of joy,
Building a rainbow of joy.
