I couldn't wear black, that would be sad
And I couldn't wear blue, you might think that I was, too
I couldn't wear green, you might mistake me for the trees
And I couldn't wear just yellow, it attracts too many bees
Listen to the sound of the colors
We need some variation, sisters and brothers,
to really be distinguished - hey now, hey now, oh!
I think we need a rainbow!
Well I couldn't wear brown,
I'd be like the earth and cover the ground
And I couldn't wear orange
I'd shine like the sun, setting when the day is done
So I'll listen to the sound of the colors
We need some variation, sisters and brothers
to really feel distinguished - hey now, hey now, oh!
I think I'll be a rainbow
Everything is yours and mine - under the sun
If you and me and everything were coming undone
separated, we would feel alone
When I was adrift like a cloud high above the earth
looking all around
then I could see all the colors, as they circled the world
always touching each other
And I listened to the sound of the colors
to hear the inspiration, sisters and brothers,
and really feel the sensation - hey now, hey now, oh!
I think I'll be a rainbow
And I'll laugh when the colors do blend
Over the earth the rain may fall
until we see the light of day
Over the earth, the rain the rain
until we see the light, the light, the light
...I've gotta be me.
