Rainbow Songs

rainbow song--
(author unknown)
probably something along the lines of angel feathers or wind runner
can be played to guitar chords:
A(min)......C......G........D

there's a drop of water on the wall,
and the drop's about to fall
and it falls into a trickle
and the trickle's poorin down,
down, down,
to the ground-
where the moss begins to grow
watch- watch- watch
the water flow,
watch the current become a stream-
bursting through the seams,
cracking through the concrete
bending back the steel
in a raging that is real
a tearing torrent you can feel,
feel the thunder growing...
the thunder underground and in my heart,
the chain's falling apart
the wilderness in my soul
and for once in life
for once in life
i know i'm not alone,
for the mountains make our bones,
the ocean's in our blood
our feet are planted,
planted firmly in the mud
we are alive,
burning embers in our eyes--
tingling touch upon our skin
and in the heat of passion
we begin to understand
we are part of this land
we are part of this earth
and when she's threatened
we will fight for all we're worth
we watch the damn,
the damn come crashing down,
water raging to the sea-
now the river
now the river
now the river
is free,
and so are we
with every single heartbeat
we are raging to the sea...
