Beautiful land

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.
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.
