MY RAINBOW RACE
(Pete Seeger)

CHORUS
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.

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
CHORUS

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
CHORUS
(then repeat first half of chorus)
One blue sky above us,
One ocean, lapping all our shores.
One earth so green and round,
Who could ask for more?
