Eat a Rainbow

Eat a rainbow with one hand open
Palm up to the world
Receive this as if water poured from the mouth of God.

Eat a rainbow
Standing with your back to the terror
Letting color and light into the caverns of fear
fill the wounded places
Of mother earth a broken heart
those lost in rubble Of another's hatred

Eat a rainbow
By the side of the road
Look each person who passes you in the eye
The hawkers and the sellers of fate 
Dreamers, the mothers and the fathers
say, this soul cannot be sold

Stand in the center
Back to the darkness

Eat a rainbow

Eat a Rainbow (2nd version)

Eat a rainbow
By the side of the road
Look each person who passes you in the eye


Eat a rainbow with one hand open
Palm up to the world
Receive this
As if water poured from the mouth of God
