Oh, had I a golden thread 
And a needle so fine 
I'd weave a magic strand
Of rainbow design 
Of rainbow design 

In it I'd weave the courage
Of women giving birth 
In it I'd weave the innocence 
Of the children over all the earth 
Children of all the earth 

Far over the water,
I'd stretch my magic band
To every city, 
To every single land
To every land

Show my brothers and my sisters 
My rainbow design 
Bind up this sorry world 
With hand and heart and mind
Hand and heart and mind

Oh, had I a golden thread 
And a needle so fine 
I'd weave a magic strand
Of rainbow design 
Of rainbow design
