We dreamed
Of the unreal
Of jewels under the stones
Of nuggets
In the bed of rivers
Under our skulls
Of crystal
Ghosts of illusion
Hid from us
The void and the evil

I want to search
I want to dig
Find under the earth
Find under the flesh
These rainbow gems
Rainbow, rainbow
If my heart is pure
If I marvel
Yes, I will be sure
To find these gems
These rainbow gems
Eternal, immortal

We held
Throbbing
Under our Eritrean skins
In its cage
An uncut ruby

I, I want to search
I, I want to dig
Find under the earth
Find under the flesh
These rainbow gems
Rainbow, rainbow
If my heart is pure
If I marvel
Yes, I will be sure
To find these gems
These rainbow gems
Eternal, immortal

I, I want to search
I, I want to dig
And find these gems
And the one I love
Not so far from the sky
On the earth
In my flesh

I, I want to search
I, I want to dig
Find under the earth
Find under the flesh
These rainbow gems
Rainbow, rainbow
If my heart is pure
If I marvel
Yes, I will be sure
To find these gems
These rainbow gems
Eternal, immortal
