Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I, I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design, mm
Of a rainbow design
[Verse 2]
In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth
[Verse 3]
I want to show my, my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
'Cause I, I would bind up this sorry world
With hand, and heart, and mind
Oh, hand, and heart, and mind
[Verse 4]
Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I, I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design
