04 Heroes of the Grey World

Colours disappearing from the world

As the grey men have their black & white flags unfurled

They're threatening the colours in the rainbow.

They want everything to be the same

But we're going to beat them at their game

We'll paint the sky with coloured tableaux.

 

Heroes of the grey world that we are

Slow burning candle or a shooting star

We'll live our lives with gusto!

No need for a Picasso or a Joan Miró

It's enough to make your art as a local hero.

Help put some colour back in the rainbow.

 

Not seeking fortune, not seeking fame

Who gives a hoot if no one knows your name?

As long as you feel life's worth living.

We're not looking for some big award

Just a smile on your face can be our reward.

We're in it for the joy that we are giving!

 

Whether you do drama or play in a band

Or make trinkets you sell on a market stand

It all helps battle the grey shadows

Be a poet or a painter too

To your own self always be true!

Help us recover our lost rainbows.
