Blue

Long ago, or so it seems, I was born blue

This symptom stains my indigo spirit

The edges of some things tend to fray

And yet the sapphire of wisdom shines through

So yes, I am sure I was born blue

And I believe I'm not the only one

Maybe blue is your colour too

Perhaps you started out like me

Back when we were brand new

Yes, I know; it's hard to remember

The time we first arrived in the cold

Born into this blue world of mother, Gaia

Simply unable to hold back our cries

Knowing no shame in shedding tears

For the safe place and warmth we lost

Cause most never knew

That using oxygen to save this child

Would never really get rid of… of all, that was so blue.

Long ago, or so it seems, I was born blue

This symptom stains my indigo spirit

The edges of some things tend to fray

And yet the sapphire of wisdom shines through

So yes, I am sure I was born blue

And I believe I'm not the only one

Maybe blue is your colour too

And I believe I'm not the only one

Maybe blue is your colour too

And I want you to know it's okay

To have an indigo spirit

When your sapphire of wisdom shines through

Yes, it's more than okay…

…if blue is your colour too
