JJ Heller's 'Sunshine' is a gentle, comforting song that uses colors and nature imagery to reassure a child or loved one through difficult times. The lyrics compare the listener to sunshine on rainy days, promising that a rainbow—a symbol of hope and God's faithfulness—will follow. The song acknowledges cloudy days but affirms they will pass. While not explicitly quoting Scripture, it echoes the biblical promise of hope after hardship, reminiscent of God's covenant with Noah. The tone is tender and soothing, making it a lullaby-like expression of God's care and the certainty of brighter days ahead.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Red are the rosiest cheeks i have seen
Orange is the sunset that lulls you to sleep
Yellow the birds that have folded their wings for the night
You are the sunshine
On rainy days
And if I have sunshine
A rainbow is coming my way
Green are the meadows you see in your dreams
Blue are the stars in the sky dark and deep
Purple the evening that's tucking you in for the night
You are the sunshine
On rainy days
And if I have sunshine
A rainbow is coming my way
Cloudy days
Will Blow away
And the sky will not always be gray
Cloudy days
Will blow away
And the sky will not always be gray
You are the sunshine
On rainy days
And if I have sunshine
A rainbow is coming my way
(Sunshine)
On rainy days
And if I have sunshine
A rainbow is coming my way
If I have sunshine a rainbow is coming my way
