Prism Song Lyrics

refrain:
Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Prettiest thing I'd ever seen
You know it's Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Lord this world treat a little child mean.

Goin' a home from school today
I met a nice man on my way
He gave me a prism, shiny and clean
Prettiest thing I ever seen.

You know it's
(refrain)

Daddy left my mama but I won't cry
Hold my prism to my eye
Hold it there, night and day
Hold it 'til the hurt goes away

Because it's
(refrain)

Heard yesterday my daddy was dead
Cried until my little heart bled
That was bad, but then today
Policemen come and take my mama away.

But I got
(refrain)

Police got a padlock on our door
I can't go home anymore
I'd go back, but if I do
The man that got my mama gonna get me too

So I keep
Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Prettiest thing I ever seen
You know it's Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Lord this world treat a little child...
Red and Yellow, Red and Yellow,
Pretty Thing, Pretty...
Pretty...
