Lyrics
No-one Owns The Rainbow
There's beauty in the earth
If we take the time to care
It's full of wisdom, food and wonder
With enough for all to share
And if we plant the seeds of peace
If we help each other grow
We'll gain a longer lease
On life as a quid pro quo
For the world in which we're born
Is a gift and not a prize
And we'll treasure each new dawn
Fight injustices and lies
But if we choke our neighbours' children
With the rubbish of our greed
Their stunted lives will haunt us
And our riches will turn to weeds
Open your wings
Fly with me high above the forest green
Pure air sweet and tribes unseen
Forgotten long ago
Come spread your wings and soar with me
High above the waterfall
Zebras drink and green frogs call
Earth's wisdom reclaims her own
They tried patenting our genes
They can lay claim to the sea
They can sell us back the water
That the clouds provide for free
They can trade mark native herbs
Make sure you meet your dolphins tinned
But no-one owns the rainbow
And they can't copyright the wind
Open your wings
Fly with me high above the forest green
Pure air sweet and tribes unseen
Forgotten long ago
Come spread your wings and soar with me
High above the waterfall
Zebras drink and green frogs call
Earth's wisdom reclaims her own
When they auctioned off our land
Among the raiders and the sharks
Building palaces so grand
Private forests, lakes and parks
They forgot to pin their warning
To the gateway of the morning
And no matter how they try
They can't privatise the sunrise
Open your wings
Fly with me high above the forest green
Pure air sweet and tribes unseen
Forgotten long ago
Come spread your wings and soar with me
High above the waterfall
Zebras drink and green frogs call
Earth's wisdom reclaims her own
