Warriors of the Rainbow

about

Last century an old wise woman of the Hopi Indian tribe had a vision of the future. She foresaw the earth being ravaged and polluted, the forests being destroyed, the birds falling from the air and the fish being poisoned in the streams. But then she predicted the advent of a new kind of warrior - from different races and different creeds, coming together to make the earth green again. She called them the Warriors of the Rainbow.

lyrics

The sky is clouding, the grass is fading,
People in anguish, the dark is rising,

The earth she writhes beneath the claws of the minds that are poisoned,
Her children tossed on the waves of cruel desire and corruption.
It could be you, don't shrink away from the need of the hour,
Don't turn away from the hand stretched in pain of your mother.

Her name means freedom, her body earth green,
Her blood clear water, her voice is birdsong.

The earth cries out, can't you hear, take your courage in hand now,
Our deeds must speak of the love for all beings waxing strong now.
We can't allow the heartless ones to destroy this great wonder,
Slaughtering whales, felling trees, with no thought for the future.

Here rule the demons, they love no creature,
Their words are poison, they weave dark futures.

Gather all ye who love the world from distant lands beneath the tall sky
Gather all ye who love the world from distant lands beneath the tall sky
In visions past I have seen you awake the spirit moving
In visions past I have seen you awake the spirit moving
Gather all ye who love the world from distant lands beneath the tall sky
In visions past I have seen you awake the spirit moving

And now the wind is shifting, the tide is turning,
The mist is rising, a rainbow forming.
Warriors of the Rainbow, the stars are calling,
Warriors of the Rainbow, the trees are falling,
Warriors of the Rainbow, the spirit dying,
Warriors of the Rainbow, the world is crying out in pain

And I shall never rest in peace till this cruel reign is ended
And all the children of the earth shall be free, her wounds all mended,
your time has come, make the earth green again, don't delay now,
Victory has been foreseen for the people who do.

Warriors of the Rainbow, create new Eden
clear rain a'falling, blue sky unending,
Unfearful faces, starlight revealing,
Small creatures dancing, glad voices singing,
Free children playing with chains that are broken,
Warriors of the Rainbow, the future lies within your hands.
