On a day of grey skies and a drizzling rain,
we met an old wizard on pondering lane.
We asked him: “Please help us and show us the way
to a world where we live in full colours each day.”
The old wizard smiled as a rainbow appeared.
"Look at this bridge in thousands of colours
of thousands of droplets of water, so clear.
It leads to a world to our eyes the most dear:
the world where we know all that glitters is gold.
This glitter will fade, 'cause the bridge will not hold.
Now close your eyes, and open your ears.
Forget what you've seen and believe what you héar."
So we closed our eyes and we opened our ears...
Then the tiniest sound, to our souls the most dear,
appeared from a depth, both far and so near.
A magical melody, painfully light,
opened a world all honest and bright.
Music was in us, around us, between us.
Feeling a truth like it always had been us.
Thousands of sounds in thousands of colours
in thousands of droplets of being, all part:
living full colours all straight from the heart.
