Laura Nyro - Broken Rainbow Lyrics

Laura Nyro Lyrics

"Broken Rainbow"

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
