When everything seems pretty bleak
Every one of them in despair
People have started giving up hope
No one else seems to care
Then a tiny peep of brightness appears
Soon a beam of sun shines through
At last a faint colour fades in
Painting it self across the sky
Red, yellow, pink and green
So bright, so easily seen
Then purple, orange and blue
That is something we already knew
A splash of the seven colours
From the paintbrush in the sky
Painted a smile across their faces
And sparkled in each and every eye
