lyrics

Sons and daughters
Look up and know
Light up your faces
Let them glow
And you can feel the colors of the world
Just like a book
You'll open wide
Inside yourself
You'll see the skies
And you'll become a color of the world

Please be kind
Don't burn your eyes
On the sun that shines
On us
Take the time
And learn to fly
And then, go, go, go

All that comes and all that goes
Must see it soar and then explode
And you will bleed the colors of the world
Hand in hand
Or back to back
We're stuck together
Fact is fact
And all make up the colors of the world

Please be wise
Don't turn your eyes
From the sun that shines on us
Take your time
You'll need the guide
And then go, go, go
