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
