Coat of Many Colors

Colors of me

I got a Coat

It’s got many colors

My mama made it for me

Under the sycamore tree

I got a Coat

Of so many colors

More than the eyes can see

More than the mind can dream

It’s got red and Orange

Yellow, Green, and Blue

A dark dose of Indigo

And the Purple Haze

Red is my bloodline

Green my heritage 

It’s got the Blues

And that X factor too

Like a Chameleon

You know I can blend it all

Command Battalions

Call me emperor

Where is my coat of many colors

Over the rainbow

After the flood

Here is my coat of many colors

Looking O’er Everest

Grinning at me
