COCK-A-DOODLE-DO

Are you One or Two?
Are you Red or Blue?
Good for you.
Good for me too.
Cock-a-doodle-do.

Is One Red, or is it Blue?
Is Two Blue, or is it Red?
Is one me or is it you?
Am I Two and you too?
Cock-a-doodle-do.

What to do?
With One and Two?
What to do?
With Red or Blue?
Cock-a-doodle-do.

Oh, I know what to do
Forget the color fight
Go for the light
Light is always right.
Cock-a-doodle-do.

Oh, I see …
What to do
With One and Two
And Red and Blue.
Cock-a-doodle-do.

If we are a number like this
Who would listen to you?
If we are a color like this
Who should listen to you?
Cock-a-doodle-do.

There is a higher order
Than Red and Blue
Higher than One
Higher than Two.
Cock-a-doodle-do.

Higher than me
And higher than you
A Kingdom for Red
And also for Blue.
Cock-a-doodle-do.

It is a Kingdom of Light
Shining for One and Two
Shining for Red and Blue
Shining for Me and You.
Cock-a-doodle-do
Cock-a-doodle-do.
