Children of the Rainbow - (or My Rainbow Race - with Seegers lyrics subtitled) - Norway protest

Pete Seeger Song Share @peteseegersongs.bsky.social · May 22

One of the most beautiful of all: 40,000 Norwegians sing My Rainbow Race outside the courthouse where Neo-Nazi Anders Breivik stood trial for killing 77 people. He gave a reason of leftwing propoganda for his actions & cited this song. The people responded by singing it.

God bless the truth that fights towards the sun. They roll the lies over it and think that it is done. It moves through the ground, it reaches for the air, and after a while it's growing everywhere. And God bless the grass.

"the concrete gets tired of what it has to do, it breaks and it buckles and the grass grows through. And God bless the grass... #PeteSeeger #MalvinaReynolds #Hope #Truth

The words to this song really were written by a 4 year old child! It's the chorus of a famous peace song in Russia, which is currently banned because the solidarity sentiments of 'may there always be sunshine and blue sky' are just too radical for the Kremlin... #PeteSeeger

The Bay of Mexico. We can take a little joy in singing this, despite some people thinking that renaming a place erases the other people who have lived in the Americas much longer than European immigrant communities... #PeteSeeger #BayOfMexico #Weavers

Well we've certainly dusted this one off recently, with a few new verses. Written by Bob Dylan during his earlier more socially conscious songwriting life, but you can hear Pete singing harmonies on this one, and of course urging everyone to join in! #PeteSeeger #HandsOff youtu.be/xWBTuNCs83Q?...
