Songs

Rainbow Colors Song

To the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”
First comes red and orange, too
Shiny yellow, green, and blue
Purple ends the pretty rays
Only seen on rainy days
First comes red and orange, too
Shiny yellow, green, and blue

Rainbow Flag Song

To the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”
First comes LIFE and HEALING, too
SUNLIGHT, NATURE, and PEACE, too
SPIRIT ends the pretty rays
Seen on flags at at parades.
When you see the colors fly,
Remember that you’re an ally!
