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 it's origin
For the beautiful land is in your heart.
Nina Simone, born Eunice Kathleen Waymon (1933-2003), was a legendary American singer-songwriter, pianist, and activist. Born in North Carolina to a deeply religious African American family, she displayed an extraordinary musical talent at an early age. After studying classical music at the Philadelphia Conservatory, Simone dedicated herself to jazz and blues, quickly becoming an iconic figure on the 1960s music scene. Her powerful and versatile voice, accompanied by her passionate piano playing, allowed her to address social and political issues with courage and sensitivity. Simone was a fervent supporter of civil rights, using her music as a tool of protest against racism and social injustice. Songs like «Mississippi Goddam» and «Four Women» became anthems of the fight for social justice. Her musical influence has been profound and lasting, inspiring generations of artists in various disciplines.
