My Rainbow Race Lyrics

Pete Seeger My Rainbow Race

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shores
One earth so green and brown
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, too soon to die
It's too soon to die

Some want to be like an ostrich
And bury their heads in the sand
Some hope for plastic dreams
To unclutch those greedy hands

Some want to take the easy way
Poisons, bombs, they think we need them
Don't they know you can kill all the unbelievers
There's no short cut to freedom

Then because I promise
I'll give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon, too soon to die
It's too soon to die

It's too soon to die
It's too soon to die
It's too soon to die
It's too soon to die
It's too soon to die

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shores
One earth so green and brown
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, too soon to die
It's too soon to die
