Holi it is, Holi it is!
Oh, ho, ho!

With hues of powder, vermilion bright,
We've painted now this very form,
With hues of powder, vermilion bright,
We've colored all within the storm.
In love's own dye, let us anoint,
Each other's hearts, let spirits meet,
In love's own dye, let us anoint,
Each other's hearts, oh, how sweet!

Oh, throw, throw color, throw it high,
Today is Holi, Holi's call,
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, encompassing all.
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, Holi's call,
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, standing tall.

When color blooms, a vibrant tide,
Oh, when color blooms so bold,
Our separate selves must now subside,
Our separate selves, stories told.
No longer great, no longer small,
No knowledge of the things we knew,
No longer great, encompassing all,
The old beliefs, we now eschew.

By all these colors, let us swear,
To build a world, a common grace,
By all these colors, let us share,
To mold the world, to find our place.
Oh, throw, throw color, throw it high,
Today is Holi, Holi's call,
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, encompassing all.
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, Holi's call,
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, standing tall.

Ten coins for color, water mixed,
The old man painted, youth renewed,
The old man painted, youth affixed,
The ancient spirit, un-accrued.
Make merry, let the music rise,
With cymbals, drums, the joyful sound,
With cymbals, drums, beneath the skies,
The spirit's song, forever bound.

Dance and sway with joyous ease,
In ecstasy, the saffron brew,
Dance and sway, find your release,
The vibrant soul, forever true.
To the tune of Spring, the soul takes flight,
Our beings lost in love's embrace,
To the tune of Spring, bathed in light,
Our souls are free in this sacred space.

Oh, throw, throw color, throw it high,
Today is Holi, Holi's call,
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, encompassing all.
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, standing tall.
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, standing tall.
Throw color, throw it to the sky,
Today is Holi, encompassing all.
