Under the Rainbow

We are One

If we were living in the Emerald City

We would all be one

Our needs would be met

With more than enough to share

Hands and hearts would meet

In a melody of caring

Where we are all one

In the Emerald City

Where there’s plenty of

love, courage, and wisdom

to keep us all safe

We would all be one

But where we live,

Here in the desert, dry of compassion,

We must go into the cellar of our hearts

And wait out the tornadoes,

Inviting others into shelter.

Together, we are the rainbow.
