Sample clip (Coming Soon)
My mother was a thoroughbred the world had idolized
My father was a racehorse who always won first prize
They longed to have an offspring who’d surpass their worldly fame
But their hearts were torn…. when I was born… cause their little horse was lame
My folks could see…I would never be…. like any other kid
No matter what they tried to do… no matter what they did
So they sent me to… a boarding school…. in a city far away
So far from home.. so all alone… every night and day
CHORUS
When you’re a horse of a different color….. and different from the start
No one knows the sadness that your feeling in your heart …
We all have different colors … in so many different shades
When your colors shine ….. your sadness fades
One day a man in uniform was searching for a horse
He chose me as a guardian for his policemen’s force
They marched me in a great parade, so proudly neath the sun
Such a big event…. for our president …. for the good deeds he had done
But I felt alarmed when someone armed…had broken through the crowd
He meant to hurt the president with a shot that echoed loud
He tried to run, but I kicked his gun, then I knocked him to the ground
They said I saved the day … never knew I could feel this way… with so much love around
CHORUS
Now I am the hero of the nation
Everyone knows my name
I’m on every TV station
I ‘ve surpassed my parent’s fame
It wasn’t glitter or glory that caused me to do good
It was the colors of my heart….. that told me I could
CHORUS

However, Macdonald’s animals now live all over the world. So he decides to travel the continents in order to reunite his family.
Ages 4-7 and children of all ages
In order to find MacDonald’s beloved horse…Big Mac travels to the Caribbean to find his horse where he could drink rum and coke all day and forget that McDonald might try to turn him into glue for wallpaper in his restaurants. Who is a different color |
