Rainbow of Diversity by Jerry Browning

Rainbow of Diversity   

By Jerry Browning   

From the shadows we have watched for oh, so long

With a hunger to be part of freedom's song

Marked with labels and with fear we have survived

With a longing in our souls to come alive.

We have nursed our wounds of hate and bigotry

And we've mourned the ones who've died in agony;

Now the time has come to stand out in the light

And in unison to cry for what is right.

CHORUS:

We'll walk through the world with pride and dignity

And we'll live our lives as who we're meant to be

Hand in hand we'll stand together, proud and free

Underneath the rainbow of diversity.

There are differences and yet we're all the same

We're your sisters, we're your brothers and your friends

We're the sons and daughters of humanity;

I'm a part of you and you're a part of me.

Take my hand and we will build a better world

Where the one true flag of freedom is unfurled.

There is strength in numbers, come and you will see

Underneath the rainbow of diversity.

CHORUS:
