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 youI'll give it one mor etryTo show my rainbow raceIt's too soon to die.Some folks want to be like an ostrich;Bury their heads in the sandSome hope for plastic dreamsTo 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 freedomOne 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 youI'll give it one more try.To show my rainbow raceIt'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 shareWhat's been given to me and youOne blue sky above us,One ocean, lapping all our shores.One earth so green and round,Who could ask for more?
