Over The Rainbow
(Arlen-Harburg)
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

I was compiling Rainbow Warrior site today on the Net, hoping to find enough for everyone here to find their own site among these.
This is (one of ) my favorite/s ( from this link:

Do you know what a rainbow is ??
Yes, a beautiful bow of colors in the sky.
Do you know what a warrior is ??
A warrior is a brave person.
One who has courage instead of being afraid.
Now let me ask you a question.
Do you love animals or hate animals?
Do you love trees or hate trees?
Do you love people or hate people?
Do you love the rainbow or hate the rainbow?
Well, if you love animals and trees, people and
rainbows, then maybe you are a
"Warrior of the Rainbow".

CREE INDIAN PROPHECY
Warriors of the Rainbow
Last century an old wise woman of the Cree Indian nation,
named "Eyes of Fire", had a vision of the future.
She prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or
Yo-ne-gis' greed, there would come a time, when the earth being
ravaged and polluted, the forests being destroyed, the birds would
fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, the fish
being poisoned in the streams, and the trees would no longer be,
mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist.
There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories,
culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would
be needed to restore us to health, making the earth green again.
They would be mankind's key to survival, they were the
"Warriors of the Rainbow". There would come a day of
awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would
form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and
recognition of the Great Spirit.
The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would spread these messages
and teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would teach them
how to live the "Way of the Great Spirit". They would tell them
of how the world today has turned away from the Great
Spirit and that is why our Earth is "Sick".
The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would show the peoples that
this "Ancient Being" (the Great Spirit), is full of love and understanding,
and teach them how to make the "Earth or Elohi" beautiful again. These Warriors
would give the people principles or rules to follow to make their path right
with the world. These principles would be those of the Ancient
Tribes. The Warriors of the Rainbow would teach the people
of the ancient practices of Unity, Love and Understanding.
They would teach of Harmony among people in all
four corners of the Earth.
Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the peoples
how to pray to the Great Spirit with love that flows like the
beautiful mountain stream, and flows along the path to the ocean of
life. Once again, they would be able to feel joy in solitude and in councils.
They would be free of petty jealousies and love all mankind as their
brothers, regardless of color, race or religion. They would feel
happiness enter their hearts, and become as one with the
entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and
radiate warmth, understanding and respect for all
mankind, Nature and the Great Spirit.
They would once again fill their minds, hearts, souls, and
deeds with the purest of thoughts. They would seek the beauty of
the Master of Life - the Great Spirit! They would find strength
and beauty in prayer and the solitudes of life.
Their children would once again be able to run free and
enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth. Free from the
fears of toxins and destruction, wrought by the Yo-ne-gi and his practices
of greed. The rivers would again run clear, the forests be abundant
and beautiful, the animals and birds would be replenished.
The powers of the plants and animals would again be
respected and conservation of all that is
beautiful would become a way of life.
The poor, sick and needy would be cared for by their brothers
and sisters of the Earth. These practices would
again become a part of their daily lives.
The leaders of the people would be chosen in the
old way - not by their political party, or who could speak
the loudest, boast the most, or by name calling or mud slinging,
but by those whose actions spoke the loudest. Those who demonstrated
their love, wisdom and courage and those who showed that they could and
did work for the good of all, would be chosen as the leaders or Chiefs.
They would be chosen by their "quality" and not the amount of
money they had obtained. Like the thoughtful and devoted
"Ancient Chiefs", they would understand the people with
love, and see that their young were educated with the
love and wisdom of their surroudings. They would
show them that miracles can be accomplished to
heal this world of its ills, and restore
it to health and beauty.
The tasks of these "Warriors of the Rainbow" are
many and great. There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance
to conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be
dedicated, unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart.
They will find willing hearts and minds that will follow
them on this road of returning "Mother Earth"
to beauty and plenty - once more.
The day will come, it is not far away.
The day that we shall see how we owe our very existence
to the people of all tribes that have maintained their culture and
heritage. Those that have kept the rituals, stories, legends and myths
alive. It will be with this knowledge, the knowledge that they have
preserved, that we shall once again return to "harmony" with Nature,
Mother Earth and mankind. It will be with this knowledge
that we shall find our "Key to our Survival".
This is the story of the "Warriors of the Rainbow".
