Oh Had I A Golden Thread
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design
In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth
Won't you show my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
'Cause I I would bind up this sorry world
With hand and my heart and mind
Oh hand and heart and mind
Oh had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I I would weave a magic spell
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design
Oh oh oh
