My Rainbow Race
One blue sky above us
One ocean, lapping all our shores
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
It's too soon to die
Some want to be like an ostrich
Bury their heads in the sand
And some hope their plastic dream
Will unclench all greedy hands
Some want to take the easy way
Poisons and bombs, they think we need 'em
Don't you know, you can't kill all the unbelievers
There's no shortcut to freedom
And because I promised
I'll give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon to die
It's too soon to die
With one blue sky above us
One ocean, lapping all our shores
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
It's too soon to die
