Lyrics
My Rainbow Race
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more
And because I love you
I'll give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon to die
Some folks want to be like an ostrich
Bury their heads in the sand
Some hope that plastic dreams
Can unclench all those greedy hands
Some hope to take the easy way
Poisons, bombs. They think we need 'em
Don't you know you can't kill all the unbelievers?
There's no shortcut to freedom
Go tell, go tell all the little children
Tell all the mothers and fathers too
Now's our last chance to learn to share
What's been given to me and you
