Broken Rainbow (Album Version)

Broken Rainbow - Laura Nyro

Written by：L. Nyro

The old people of the earth

Tell stories

An old woman

Of the old ways

She said

I recall oh my joy

In better days

The young warriors

Of the open rainbow

Said tell me is it true

Tell me do some live

Out of bags and rags

In the cities too

Is it true

At the edge where I live

Home sweet home

America

The earth ones

They said our religion

Is in these lands and skies

Sweet mother

Our land's gone

To modern worlds

Modern lies

And the new ecology

You know we were the first

Believe me

We will be the last

To keep the light

For the earth

At the edge where I live

Home sweet home

America

Native American nation

Caught in the devastation

An endless situation

What can I do

The ghost of prejudice

Cuts through the moonglow

Poet on a crying page

Broken rainbow

Broken rainbow

Home sweet home

America
