Brightened by the twinkle of stars
I am the shadowy shade of the night 
I am the colour of the mysterious cat 
All you can see of her are her eyes 

I am the colour of the scuttling beetle 
Of the bear that lives in a cave 
I am the colour of the berries he eats 
I am like the panther, fast and brave

I am the colour of the birds that caw-caw
And watch you with a beady eye 
I am like some of the cars you see on the road 
Not red, nor blue, nor white

I am the colour of ants and chimpanzees 
Maybe the colour of your backpack 
I am deep, I am dark, I have a magical spark 
I am the majestic colour BLACK.
