Laura Nyro - Broken Rainbow lyrics

The old people of the earth

Tell stories

An old woman

Of the old ways

She said -

"I recall 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

Native American Nation

Caught in the devastation

An endless situation

What can I do?

The ghost of prejudice

Cuts thru the moonglow

Poet on a crying page -

Broken Rainbow

Broken Rainbow

Home sweet home

America
