Chorus: Kapena I'll build you a rainbow, way high up above Send down the sun beams, plums full of love Sprinkle down raindrops, teardrops of joy I'll be happy in spring time, watching over my boy Verse #1: Kapena Once there was a boy named Jaimie He had lots of great friends But his greatest friend was his mom Not in some sissy way or anything like that She just was different from all the other moms See while all the other moms were going to their Fashion shows, and bridge parties She'll stay home and have long talks and bike rides with Jaimie And at one time she was even considered to be one of the best Football players on the block One day Jaimie was called home from school And as he was running home He saw this great big ambulance parked Infront of his house And as he entered down the hallway He saw his dad talking to a doctor His dad said "Jaimie, come in your mom wants to see you." And as he opened the door he saw his mom laying there And she turned her head and said "Hey, big Jay" even though he wasn't big But he had a big heart She said "Jaimie, I'm leaving and I won't be coming back" Jaimie says" Bu-but why mom... who'm I goin to play with And who'm I going to talk too... and how'm I goin to know That your there mom?" His mom says "Because Jaimie, families are forever." Chorus: Kapena I'll build you a rainbow Way high up above Send down the sun beams, (send down the sun beams) Plums full of love Sprinkle down rain drops, (sprinkle down rain drops) Tear drops of joy I'll be happy in spring time Watching over my boy Verse #2: Kapena She closed her eyes and she was gone As the ambulance pulled away Jaimie's dad broke down and started to cry As Jaimie felt his dad's tear drops on his cheek He started to cry too But as he looked up over the sky Sure enough there was a great big rainbow over his house And he said "Dad, Daddy, it's alright, because families are forever." Chorus: Kapena I'll build you rainbow, way high up above Send down the sun beams, (send down the sun beams) Plums full of love Sprinkle down rain drops, (sprinkle down rain drops) Tear drops of joy I'll be happy in spring time watching over my boy I'll be happy in heaven watching over my boy Outro: Kapena I love you mom
