Paint the sky with shades of blue
Sketch the sunset bright and new
Nobody’s done it before, it’s true.
It’s fun to color the world.

Brighten the world with color and light
It takes your breath away at the sight
Because when you’re done you know it was right
It’s fun to color the world

Don’t forget the forests on land
Remember to paint the sea and the sand
All that is left is things made by man
It’s fun to color the world.
