| Oh, had I a golden thread | |
| And a needle so fine | |
| I'd weave a magic strand | |
| Of rainbow design | |
| Of rainbow design | |
| In it I'd weave the bravery | |
| Of women giving birth | |
| In it I'd weave the innocence | |
| Of children of all the earth | |
| Children of all the earth | |
| Show my brothers and sisters | |
| My rainbow design | |
| Bind up this sorry world | |
| With hand and heart and mind | |
| Hand and heart and mind | |
| Oh, far over the water | |
| I'd reach my magic band | |
| To every human being | |
| So they would understand | |
| So they'd understand | |
| Oh, had I a golden thread | |
| And a needle so fine | |
| I'd weave a magic strand | |
| Of rainbow design | |
| Of rainbow design |
