Analysis of Ribbons of Color
Looking out the window, what do I see?
Ribbons of color
Vibrant oranges, reds and yellows,
Ribbons of color
This miracle happens but once a year
Ribbons of color
Oh the beauty for all to see
Ribbons of color
We are blessed with this view
Ribbons of color
Others can only imagine our
Ribbons of color
What we take for granted are
Ribbons of color
Vibrant oranges, reds and yellows,
Ribbons of color
