Oh, Had I a Golden Thread

(Traditional)

Oh, had I a golden thread

And a needle so fine

I would weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design, of rainbow design

In it I'd weave the bravery

Of women giving birth

And in it I would weave the innocence

Of children of all the earth, children of all the earth

Show my brothers and sisters my rainbow design

I would bind up this sorry world

With hand and my heart and mind

Hand and heart and mind

Oh, had I a golden thread

And a needle so fine

I I would weave a magic strand

Of rainbow design, of rainbow design
