Lyrics
Red is the hot breath of anger and power
Green is the softness of words
We can use anger and power of persuasion
To make sure our feelings are heard
Yellow, the strength of the sun in the morning
Blue is the life-giving rain
We must be strong in our lives and our living
To bring back the rainbow again
Don't let it be the last rainbow
Make sure the colours stay strong
Don't let my dreams disappear from tomorrow
Don't let this be the last song
Orange, the warmth of the sun in the evening
Violet, flowers so bright
We must be warm in our love and our loving
To bring back the rainbow of life.
Indigo's lonely; the colour of sadness
Fills your heart up with such pain
These are the colours that make every rainbow
The spectrum of life once again
Don't let it be the last rainbow
Make sure the colours stay strong
Don't let my dreams disappear from tomorrow
Don't let this be the last song
Don't let it be the last rainbow
Make sure the colours stay strong
Don't let my dreams disappear from tomorrow
Don't let this be, don't let it be,
Don't let this be the last song.
