Melanie - My Rainbow Race Lyrics






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 for plastic dreams
To unclench all those greedy hands

Some want to take the easy way
Poisons, bombs! They think we need 'em
Don't they know you can't kill all the unbelievers
There's no shortcut to freedom

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

Go tell, go tell all the little children!
Go tell mothers and fathers, too
Now's our last chance to learn to share
What's been given to me and you

One blue sky above us
One ocean, lapping all our shores
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more?

    Photos from:Rainbow Mountains In China's Danxia Landform Geological Park

  15. q.... ....

    I believe this place only finished the construction to make an open sight-seeing place in 2013, so that's why the vids about it on youtube are very scarce.

    I found one:

    [จีน ] มหัศจรรย์ เขา 5 สี [Zhangye Danxia Landform] กันซู่

    The blue and purple colors did not show up, and people below commented that the colors change according to weather, and after rain is the best time to see.

  16. J.... G....

    is that place even real? why don't people have real footage of it? 

    J.... G....

    Read the description at the top. It says: The mountains are part of the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in China.
