As I pick a buttercup I place it beneath my chin Yellow becomes part of me as happiness seeps in I think of those times lying on the green Staring at clouds above Memories pass like raindrops fall Was this the awakening of love? Sunrise blesses the pain inside Warms my bones when I look into her eyes Oh, Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow shine bright for the young and old Back then all I knew was the colour black It still sits with me to this day Blinded by arrows enriched with pain Will the rainbow ever sway? Facetious worlds torment my soul Unelected pawns of doom Surrendering to 3D lies circumvented within my gloom Sunrise blesses the pain inside Warms my bones when I look into her eyes Oh, Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow shine bright for the young and old Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow shine bright for the young and old Yet, life has blessed me with insight I do not play it's wicked game I walk alone along my sacred path exonerated from self blame I know another; she is by my side Another tortured yet independent soul My love for her will never die for we share the same end goal Oh, oh Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow stories waiting to be told

Colours of the rainbow
As I pick a buttercup I place it beneath my chin Yellow becomes part of me as happiness seeps in I think of those times lying on the green Staring at clouds above Memories pass like raindrops fall Was this the awakening of love? Sunrise blesses the pain inside Warms my bones when I look into her eyes Oh, Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow shine bright for the young and old Back then all I knew was the colour black It still sits with me to this day Blinded by arrows enriched with pain Will the rainbow ever sway? Facetious worlds torment my soul Unelected pawns of doom Surrendering to 3D lies circumvented within my gloom Sunrise blesses the pain inside Warms my bones when I look into her eyes Oh, Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow shine bright for the young and old Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow shine bright for the young and old Yet, life has blessed me with insight I do not play it's wicked game I walk alone along my sacred path exonerated from self blame I know another; she is by my side Another tortured yet independent soul My love for her will never die for we share the same end goal Oh, oh Colours of the rainbow all lead to a *** of gold Colours of the rainbow stories waiting to be told
