Lyrics
Sunshine colours in the garden
You and I in the afternoon
Cut flowers in the vases
Summer's air fills the room
Later we stroll by the trees
Fall colours in the leaves
White queen calls "check" to the black king
You were baptized in the river
The colour of water runs down my hands as I raise them to the sun
Praise its beauty, praise its life, those seasons bend and shape it
The essence is the same
When I look again at the colour of water
Fire crackling on a Sunday
Come and cuddle for a while
Look outside, you'll see a white blanket
Children's snowmen make me smile
Newborn life all around us
Still you feel prejudice
Blossoms show their baby colours
You take them to the river
The colour of water runs down my hands as I raise them to the sun
Praise its beauty, praise its life, those seasons bend and shape it
The essence is the same
When I look again at the colour of water
Oh, all the beautiful children
Unaware of the anger outside
Don't colour me red, I'm not angry
Don't colour me black, I'm misunderstood
Don't colour me green, I have no envy
Don't colour me white, I'm in your neighbourhood
The colour of water runs down my hands as I raise them to the sun
Praise its beauty, praise its life, those seasons bend and shape it
The essence is the same
When I look again at the colour of water
The essence is the same
When I look once again at the colour of water
