Beautiful Land - Nina Simone

Red is the color of a lot of lollipops

Orange is any orange on a tree

Yellow’s the color of a bag of lemon drops

Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea

Blue is the color of the sky in summertime

Indigo is a Siamese cat’s eyes

Violet’s the color of a flow’r in wintertime

These are the colors of the rainbow skies

There is a beautiful land

Where all your dreams come true;

It’s all tied up in a rainbow

All shiny and new;

But it’s not easy to find

No matter what you do

It’s not on top of a mountain

Or beneath the deep blue sea

Or in London zoo or in Timbuktoo

Or in Timbuckthree

And if you travelled the world

From China to Peru

There’s no beautiful land on the chart

An explorer could not begin

To discover its origin

For the beautiful land is in your heart
