Child of the Rainbow
Verse:
We've been silent so long,
but now, from afar ,
rise and fall of voices reach us.
And although words get lost,
we know,
yes, still, we know it to our cost.

Chorus:
   So rush, the candle is burning two-sided!
   The gifts of our nature are melting like snow.
   The ocean is wide and the tides won't be waiting,
   pay heed to the world and its creatures,
   expel all the grabbing, expel all the hating,
   let the future of the innocents glow.

Verse:
The summer of life only blooms once,
so please, hurry up now, you should leap at the chance
make a man's word as good as his bond.
Let us invite the great animal kingdom for a dance.
It won't take infinity and beyond!

Chorus:
   So rush, the candle is burning two-sided!
   The gifts of our nature are melting like snow.
   The ocean is wide and the tides won't be waiting,
   pay heed to the world and its creatures,
   expel all the grabbing, expel all the hating,
   let the future of the innocents glow.
     
Verse:
Just look at the child of the rainbow,
despite deepest sorrow, insecure tomorrow,
always reaching out for the sun.
Let rays of light unfurl on a dewful meadow.
Release its poor life from bullets and guns!

Chorus:
   So rush, the candle is burning two-sided!
   The gifts of our nature are melting like snow.
   The ocean is wide and the tides won't be waiting,
   pay heed to the world and its creatures,
   expel all the grabbing, expel all the hating,
   let the future of the innocents glow.
