"Rainbow Children" by Gwendolyn King

Gwendolyn King (1978); Hispanic. Edelweiss, Rainbow Children, Mocking Bird, Hush a-bye. “Sleep is floating over fields of flowers and oceans of fish. Sleep is becoming part of the water as it bends around the trees and rocks.” She sang “Rainbow Children”, it is not a lullaby. But words are so good, so I copied it for the website. (Masguda)

We’re a Rainbow made of children,

 We’re an army just singing our song,

 There’s no weapons that can stop us,

 Rainbow love is much too strong.

 I was born in, Mississippi

 Saying, yes, sir, to all the men,

 But I found that it got me nowhere,

 So I’ll never say it again.

 We’re a rainbow made of children,

 We’re an army just singing our song,

There’s no weapons that can stop us,

 Rainbow love is much too strong.

 I was taught that black was evil,

I was taught that white was good,

 But when you become a rainbow

 All the colors are understood.

 We’re a rainbow made of children,

 We’re an army just singing our song

 There’s no weapons that can stop us

 Rainbow love is much too strong.

 I’m a girl scout with many sisters,

 There are girl guides all over the world,

 We have fun and loss of laughter,

 Come and join us anytime.

 We’re a rainbow made of children,

 We’re an army just singing our song,

 There’s no weapons that can stop us,

 Rainbow love is much too strong,

 Rainbow love it much too strong.
