Today the colours went away
No flags
No more rainbows
My skittles turned to grey
Before this happened
I never noticed
All the colours throughout my day
How I miss them
On the day the colours went away
Red, orange, and yellow
Aren’t coming back
Green, blue, and purple
Are now white and black
And the pinkest heart
Is now all dark
There is nothing left to say
On the day the colours went away
I’ve been down in the dumps
I’ve been a gloomy gus
It can happen to anyone
It can happen to the best of us
I look to the sky
I won’t let life pass me by
For all I know
There might be another rainbow
Just then a piece of gold came into view
And through the shadows somehow I knew
Nothing last forever
Everything will be okay
On the day the colours went away
On the day the colours went away
