COLOUR ME COLOURS

Like the heavens and the skies

Like the deep seas so wide

When I am confident and true

When I have faith in you

Colour me blue, colour me blue

 

Like the royals of Great Britain

Like the noble in truth and ambition

In my wisdom, dignity and pride

In my mystery and grandeur so wise

Colour me purple, colour me purple

 

Like fire and blood

Like the intensity of a flood

In my strength and passion

In my desire, love and emotion

Colour me red, colour me red

 

Like the warmth of the tropics

Like the sun, my daily tonic

When I am determined and creative

When I am happy and attractive

Colour me orange, colour me orange

 

Like a smile so warm

Like joy even in a storm

When I am cheerful and happy

In my intellect, when I am savvy

Colour me yellow, colour me yellow

 

When I am all these and more

When I am despised or adored

With the colours of the rainbow

With the colours that make me glow

Colour me colours, colour me colours
