Story Behind The Song
I put my son on a little merry go round outside of a Kmart when he was 2. He just lit up with joy so that strangers stopped to watch him smile and wave. I wanted to save this moment in a song.

Lyrics
Driving home from work one day
In an endless stream of cars
Escaping to my empty house
To contemplate my scars
The rain had finally let up
Steam rose from the street
Something made me look up
I saw a rainbow, color stretched across the sky
I saw a rainbow, and for that moment I could fly
I stopped at a grocery store
To get some things to eat
There was a children?s ride out by the door
A mother set her child in the seat
She dropped a quarter in the slot
That little car turned round and round
At the rainbow?s edge there is a treasure pot
It was in the way that little boy smiled, whoa he smiled so pure
I nodded to his mama and tipped my hat
I saw a rainbow, something to give me hope
I saw a rainbow, the sky?s kaleidoscope
I saw a rainbow, above my neighborhood
I saw a rainbow, and it made me feel so good
