See the river deep and wide 
Could be free on the other side 
Oh, cross the water 
When the gun and the knife have gone 
Who'll be here when tomorrow comes 
Oh, living in fear  
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise 
Over the rainbow they fly 
Shadows on the sky  
 
Hear the sound that fills the skies 
Killer man with dollar eyes 
Oh, bringing disaster 
You can stand, you can run 
When you hear the sound of a gun 
Moving closer  
 
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise 
Over the rainbow they fly 
Shadows on the sky  
 
And as far as the eye can see 
Black as night is the cloud you're under 
There's a chance that it cannot be 
Hear the cries like the rolling thunder  
 
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise 
Over the rainbow they fly 
Shadows on the sky
