"Rainbow Warrior"
Written by: Clayton Joseph Scott
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
I been thinkin’ my responsibility
To all my friends and lovers, in this one world family
I been thinkin bout a new world that could last
No more hatred no more sorrow, racism or class
See this vision just burns inside my chest
Everything that they have stolen, every murder every death
Street people screamin’ “we seek justice”
They can break and shake our bodies, but we can never rest
So we fight and fight and fighting on
Generations growing up
Rainbow warrior people
Would you please stand up
So we fight and fight and fighting on
Our generations growin up
Rainbow warrior people
Rainbow warriors rise up
Freedom
Freedom
Sing it from the mountaintop
Rainbow Warriors never stop no
Freedom
Freedom
Sing it from the mountaintop
Rainbow Warriors please stand up
Freedom
Freedom
Till Kingdom come,
Rainbow Warriors would you please stand up
If she could talk what would mother earth say
Would she pull us close into her chest or turn her head in shame - yes
If they could walk could you still ignore
The next 7 generations that have yet to be born
You seek the truth but will you run and hide
Or will you take responsibility and stand up for your rights ya’ll
Wanna see it 7 billion people strong
With their fists in the air screemin’ “we have overcome!”
So we fight and fight and fighting on
Generations growin up
Rainbow warrior people
Would you please stand up
And we gon fight and fight and fighting on
Generation growin tough
Rainbow warrior people
Rainbow warriors rise up
Freedom
Freedom
Sing it from the mountaintop
Rainbow Warriors never stop no
Freedom
Freedom
Sing it from the mountaintop
Rainbow Warriors please stand up
Freedom
Freedom
Till Kingdom come,
Rainbow Warriors would you please stand up
And when the bubble popped
It fired a warning shot
The privilege in the pigment of the skin I got
I apologize for every single lie
I told myself every time I shut my eyes
Truth of sufferin
Open up my eyes again and
Rise
Rise
Rise, yeah
Freedom
Freedom
Sing it from the mountaintop
Rainbow Warrior never stop no
Freedom
Freedom
Sing it from the mountaintop
Rainbow Warrior please stand up now
Freedom
Freedom
Till Kingdom come,
Rainbow Warrior would you please stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Again
In the world I say
And I open up my eyes
Open up my eyes to see again
And Im talking about my life
Talking about my life
Talking bout your life
Talking bur our lives
Talking bout my life, my life, my life, my life
to live, to live, to live
Sing it with me know
freedom freedom
Freedom, freedom
Freddom, freedom
Till kingdom come
Rainbow Warriors would you please stand up

Clayton Joseph Scott was born in Venice Beach, CA. He began his music career at the age of two when his father bought him a
guitar and the “Born in the USA” vinyl by Bruce Springsteen. Troubadours like Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Bob Marley, served as the soundtracks of Clayton’s youth, and the art of story telling through song became an idea that shapes his music to this day....more
