Coloured Ribbon
There's a time to laugh; a time to cry
I want to live the full spectrum of life
If you leave me free, I might fit some design
Just please don't tie me up with coloured ribbon
If I am warped, then we can weave
We make up the fabric of humanity
If we be free, we can make our designs
I don't believe we are fit to be tied
I don't know why we people need
To make shackles we call normalcy
Choose other's boxes, we make them bleed
Squeeze them into moulds so stubbornly
We make their packages, we tie them tight
Until so much of them is out of sight
Oh, how many precious gifts we would see
If we would only let them be free
I want to laugh, I want to cry
I want to live the full spectrum of life
If you leave me free, I might fit some design
Just please don't tie me up with coloured ribbon
If we be free, we can make our designs
I don't believe we are fit to be tied
Truth is the beauty that we find when we're real
So please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
Please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
Please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
I want to live the full spectrum of life
If you leave me free, I might fit some design
Just please don't tie me up with coloured ribbon
If I am warped, then we can weave
We make up the fabric of humanity
If we be free, we can make our designs
I don't believe we are fit to be tied
I don't know why we people need
To make shackles we call normalcy
Choose other's boxes, we make them bleed
Squeeze them into moulds so stubbornly
We make their packages, we tie them tight
Until so much of them is out of sight
Oh, how many precious gifts we would see
If we would only let them be free
I want to laugh, I want to cry
I want to live the full spectrum of life
If you leave me free, I might fit some design
Just please don't tie me up with coloured ribbon
If we be free, we can make our designs
I don't believe we are fit to be tied
Truth is the beauty that we find when we're real
So please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
Please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
Please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
