When I was young and my heart was
strong
I heard a whisperin'
voice say, “It’s time to be movin' on”
The day I turned fifteen – That’s the
day I found my dream
That’s the day I weighed my load –
That’s the day I hit the road
My old leather shoes are worn – I’ve
been out here for a while
I've been riding out the storm and I’m
riding out with a smile
There’s a shadow on the land – I have
felt it in my dreams
It can’t be seen or held in hand - Some
have heard the silent screams
From the highest mountain tops to way
down in the city’s corridors
You can hear the cry and prayer of the
Rainbow Warriors – Om Shanti
We are the Rainbow Warriors – Om Shanti
We are the Rainbow Warriors
You got to live with what you do, so do
what’s right for me and you
Yesterday’s burnings are the same thing
as tomorrow’s acid rain
Maybe you think I’ve been livin' wrong
I've been on the road a little bit too
long
If you spend just one day in my shoes
You'd be singin'
the rainbow blues too
In a book I had seen about a war
between the Grey and the Green
These words keep running through my
head
The price of freedom is two hundred
thousand dead
Maybe ten million more – Two hundred
thousand dead
Maybe ten billion more – Two hundred
thousand dead, hey, yeah
In a house by the ocean where the
mental lepers live
All they ask is my devotion, but I
think that’s more than I can give
There stands the wizard with the
television eyes
If you listen to his wisdom, you gotta listen to his lies
For the rest of your lives
You gotta
listen to his lies
You gotta
listen to his lies
When I was young and my heart was
strong
I heard a whisperin'
voice say, “Hey, it’s time to be moving on”
I’ve been out here for a while – My old
leather shoes are worn
I'm goin' out
with a smile and I’m riding out the storm
Hey, yeah I’m riding out the storm
Hey, ho I’m riding out the storm
Hey, yeah keep riding out the storm
Rainbow Warrior ride – Keep riding out
the storm
Rainbow Warrior ride – Keep riding out
the storm
Rainbow Warrior ride – Keep riding out
the storm
Rainbow Warrior ride – Keep riding out
the storm
