String of Pearls - Michael Franks

All our lives

Searching for the secret of joy

Each time we think we find the way

Confusion leads us astray

Love arrives

At the very moment we cry

For someone to be our heart’s home

Instead of blue monochrome

Suddenly, the rainbow

Hits us from a different angle

Suddenly, our hearts know

Love’s the thread on which we dangle

Shining like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls

In the sky

We see a profusion of stars

We marvel how brightly they burn

With what precision they turn

We wonder why

Each blossom turns toward the sun

Deprived of light we would grow weak

Love is the answer we seek

Suddenly, the rainbow

Hits us from a different angle

Suddenly, our hearts know

Love’s the thread on which we dangle

Shining like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls

All our hearts held together

Like a string of pearls

Like a string of pearls
