they went about the work of building a new nation:
the Rainbow Children.
"The Wise One who understood the law
that was handed down from God long ago
reflected the true meaning 2 his woman every day.
And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care and keeping
She trusted he would lead in the right way.
Her children in subjection 2 her, and she in subjection 2 the Wise
One.
All is in subjection 2 God."
CHORUS:
Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise
Flyin' upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly
The covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise
D.C.
Can I come down there?
CHORUS
"As prophesied, the Wise One and his woman were tempted by the
Resistor.
He, knowing full well the Wise One's love 4 God,
assimilated the woman first and only.
Quite naturally, chaos ensued... D.C."

Come on y'all, uh!Ooh, ooh darling, oh
If she could be muse 2 the Pharaoh
Then one day she might be queen
If like Sheba, she then could bring presents and wine
The helix - he might get between them
In other words - intertwine
With the ebony milk of her thighs, yeah
She could be muse and let him decide
Perhaps she'll let him decide
She could be muse, yeah
There is nothing he wouldn't give her, see?
4 the future of the nation rests in belly
And if the Proverb of the 31 and verse 10
Becomes the song she sings again and again
She might be queen
Keep clappin', y'all
If she could be muse 2 the Pharaoh
One day she might be queen
Take a load off sweetie darling
Let me run agenda through your hair
There's so much information 4 the next generation
Who gonna drop it if U're not there?
And whether the enemy makes a run on the palace
Or whether the enemy does not
The children will be laced with the protection of the word of God
The opposite of NATO is monotheism
And if the number 13 is such a bad luck number
When there's no such thing as luck
The berries, talons, arrows and stars
Are all superstitions, what the ....
Get busy, big baby cuz when dem devil come
They come dressed as light
Maybe they gon' fool the untrained mind
But nobody I know gon' bite
Like a thief in the night, my Lord come and strike
Leave nothing but ashes 2 the left, dust 2 the right
Holocaust aside, many lived and died
When all truth is told, would U rather be dead or be sold?
Sold 2 the one who can now mate
The displaced bloodline with the white jail bait
Thinkin' like the keys on 'Nato's piano just fine
So there it is - 4 U 2 see
What's beyond U and me
Depends my friends primarily
On how U view your role in eternity
If she could be muse 2 the Pharaoh
Then one day she might be queen

Extraordinary love U made 2 me
Some kind of scary
I would be a fool 2 leave U
4 I was born 2 love U, this is true
Extraordinary - the way U make me feel
I'm so very glad it's real
And not a dream
Even though it seems I'm dreaming
People tried 2 break us up
There were times a little rough
We survived cuz we had a love
Ladies and gentlemen, from Holland:
Miss Candy Dulfer
Extraordinary - I'd give the world 2 U
Each and every thing U do is so very nice
U make my clock tick 12 twice then disappear, yeah yeah yeah
Time and everything else when U are near

Or I just might be runnin' lines
But there's so much U can find
Groovin' in the mellow mellow of my mind
Baby, baby, mellow, mellow of my mind
Psychedelia, big sound, big sound, mellow, mellow
Groovin' in the mellow, mellow, mellow
I wanna get lost in the composition of U
Learn the rhythm and play the only note U want me 2
I'm a good learner and once I understand
I'll stand under U and let U show me how U want your man 2 be
Anything U desire, shall I shed my attire?
Shower, my flower?
So much 2 do, so little time
Choose wisely, U can find me
In the mellow of your mind
Come on get lost in the mellow mellow of my mind
Come on get lost in the mellow mellow
Can I sing 2 U while U bring yourself 2 joy?
I'll go slow at first, while U quench your thirst
Wet circle around the toy
While U bring yourself 2 joy
