“Kaleidoscope” brings an even more spiritual touch to Coldplay’s out-spaced A Head Full of Dreams, through an extract from a poem by the great Persian poet Rumi called ‘The Guest House’. The poem’s narration is accompanied by a lofty piano-led instrumental.
Kaleidoscope Lyrics
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse: Coleman Barks]
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor
Welcome and entertain them all!
Be grateful for whoever comes
Because each has been sent as a guide
[Outro]
