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 chil' mean.

Going 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.

Chorus

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

chorus

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

chorus

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

So I'll keep...
chorus
