Create Life, Colour Me
Create Life Colour Me
Once upon a barren time, in the days of silent film
Colour code gene was lacking, across the whole wide world
Everything was blackybobs, mattish white and gray
Blackness was the nightiness and whiteness was the day
Then one day, a thunderous storm a thunderous storm so strong
Thunderclaps and lightning bolts crashed on the Earth for long
When the storm subsided, when the sun did shine
On the far horizon danced a rainbow curvy line
Born an introduce of colour, it flickered and it flashed
Across the land at mach one speeds, throwing colour out at last
It painted leaves with shades of green, with textures soft and strong
A hundred green, that had never been seen, we had waited oh so long
It painted streams and rivers blue, the sky was warm red glow
Corn fields sprang with a yellowy hue with rich brown soil below
Poppies came out with a brilliant red, the grasslands swung with yellow
Across the land this colour thing spread for every woman and fellow
A magic flowed throughout the world with piglets nicely pink
Deep purple fish swam in the seas, there chocolate coloured mink
Never again would things be bland, not now there was tint
It is difficult to imagine, so I will give you a little hint
There was pinks and greens and tangerine blue
Orange and cream and strong colours too
The colours had names with a magical light
They bounced on the dull and they turned it bright
There was of sense of joy and a new sense of fun
Colour was in fashion, it had only just begun
There was android green and atomic tangerine
Blanched almond and bottle green
Dogwood rose with denim and fawn
A thousand greens on the grass to be thrown
Electric purple and electric perth
A thousand million colours that would splash upon the Earth
To mention all the colours would take a thousand years
So spread some joy and colour and throw away the tears
