Oh, Had I A Golden Thread

Oh, had I a golden thread

And needle so fine

I’d weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design

Of rainbow design

In it I’d weave the bravery

Of a woman giving bearth

In it I would weave the innocence

Of children over all the earth

Of the children of our earth

In it I would weave the restlessness

Of man going ever forth

Through heat of blistering desert sands

Through blizzards of the North

Through our frozen hearts

Far over the waters

I’d reach my magic wand

Through foreign cities

To every single land

To every single land

Show my brothers, my sisters

My rainbow design

Bind up the sorry world

With hand and heart and mind

Hand and heart and mind

Far over the waters

I’d reach my magic wand

To every human being

So they would understand

So they’d understand

Oh, had I a golden thread

And needle so fine

I’d weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design

Of rainbow design
