Lyrics
I woke up to the morning sky first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
To the brown, brown, brown, brown 'til I'm clean
Then I walked where I'd be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I'm headed to town, town, town in style

With all my favorite colors (yes, sir)
All my favorite colors (right on)
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

It's a-good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

Now take me to the other side
Where the baby blues birds fly
In grey clouds, or white walls
Or blue skies we gon' fly, feel alright
Now we gon' ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
Each time like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
And at least I can say I anticipate
A homecome parade as we renegade in the morning light

With all my favorite colors (yes sir)
All my favorite colors (yes ma'am)
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

All my favorite colors (right)
All my favorite colors (yes ma'am)
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

It's good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors
