I read a news story about the senseless murder of a 16 year old girl by her mother's boyfriend. I was moved to write this song.

Lyrics
She was so beautiful
A smile with a name
So kind and so gentle
A soft summer rain
She had a sister
She had a mom
She had a life
Now it’s gone
A day beyond the dark night
A pain beyond numb
A rogue eclipse
Took out the sun
The world turns ‘round
But time stands still
Crying for the dreams
It can’t fulfill
Who can put a rainbow back together?
Who can roll back the years?
Who can make good sense out of a wasteland?
Floating in a sea of your fears
And your tears
He was so evil
Out of control
So wicked and empty
Sick in his soul
He had a crater
That bore through his chest
He knew a princess
Now she rests
Who can put a rainbow back together?
Who can roll back the years?
Who can make good sense out of a wasteland?
Floating in the sea of your fears
And your tears
She was so beautiful
A smile with a name
Now she’s an angel
