ONE IN A THOUSAND COLORS
A beautiful color in me

Flying colors into my world
As I saw when I came around
Red is on the wall, orange painting hanging around
Grandma's apron full of chocolate brown
I was little tip top toe running towards the crowd
Kids all around smiling and proud about
Kite was so high, it's green in the sky
Telling my dreams to be bound so high
I got one, two, three of an old toys
And the old wooden wagon was the best of all
For grandpa's creation put its best, it was red around
Wheels were black running as it's firm and straight like my dream was
School was fun but never been as easy as it was
For I thought my favorite flying colors around
Were welcome and everyone's favorite one
Heart-nature are patience and love within, does courage braced me in
I walked through rough roads and mountainous terrain
As more as I went through, colors were visible and gleam
Sun is yellow and shine is hope
Moon is silver and its glowed thy calm
As I pursue dreams, hardship was my companion
I count white pearl of tears day and night about
Crystal sweats on my forehead, I remember my Mama's tongue of wisdom
Thy words like a water pouring in my dry throat
As I walked towards at space bunch of humans around
As I see my color it's different, but I am proud
For it's black olive alike, it's dark, lustrous and it shows merit for who I am
Bravery was born in me and I gave thanks, for it came from the one above
Thou strength gained in my journey like a greenish and yellowish oil
It's colors and taste that cheers spirit up
Oil that makes justification of the evidence of thy ancestors I come from
They are sleeping calm in their reticent tombs with their wordless ambition
Oh! my own blood and flesh I come from, so asleep
Ambitions of long time ago, dreams from far away and never had a way
It will reborn, I am no hero but my color told me I am worth to have it all
Vigor of my mind and the solidity of my body as be one
Oh! My voice was so deep within, Deep, I thought that no one can hear
I started to speak up of the different colors I know and I saw
I speak up, I shout it out and everyone becomes cognizant
Out of my devotion, I did draw the thousands of colors I know
In every wall of my countrymen, I painted it with my own hands
My hands and arms like a strong jackal-berry tree that challenging around
I painted the thousands of colors, the colors of humanity
Humanity is the most ethical picture to see
Lets be one my fellowmen your color and my color
Are one of the thousand colors that exist in a space we are in
Red, blue, orange, yellow, and green are part of the world we are in
Beautiful color sights everyone sees
The color I have, I see no supremacy nor slavery
All I see I am one in a thousand colors
For it's own shades have its own special barony
Aspiration to rise its ancestors own treasured flag
I begin with aspiration; I will end up with victory
I begin with plain; I will end up with colors
The distinctive color I have is the aesthetic of my soul and flesh
For I am one in a thousand colors.
