A Hit Song About the Rainbow Warrior Anti-Whaling Ship

[The Publisher]

Back in the 80's, the hair band called White Lion recorded a hit song about Greenpeace's anti-whaling ship called the Rainbow Warrior.

The song was titled "Little Fighter. The Rainbow Warrior was illegally sunk by the French government's intelligence agency.



Here are the lyrics:

LITTLE FIGHTER

ARE YOU CRYIN' TONIGHT
ARE YOU FEELIN' ALRIGHT
I'LL TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK
YOU WERE ONE OF THE KIND
ONE WHO'D NEVER GIVE IN
EVEN WHEN THEY PUT A PRICE ON YOUR HEAD

HAS ANYONE HEARD THE TALES YOU TELL
OR SEEN THE SCARS YOU WEAR
DID ANYONE SPEAK UP WHEN YOU FELL
DOES ANYBODY CARE

RISE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND LET THE WORLD KNOW THE REASON WHY
SHINE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND DON'T LET 'EM END THE THINGS YOU DO

AND YOU WERE ONE WITH A CAUSE
AND A REASON TO BE
YOU WERE A FIGHTER FOR PEACE ON THIS EARTH
AND YOU WERE NEVER AFRAID
YOU PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE
AND YOU WERE ALWAYS ALONE OUT ON THE SEA

WITHOUT A WEAPON IN YOUR HAND
YOU CAME TO FIGHT A WAR
THEY TOOK YOUR LIFE, BUT DIDN'T KNOW
THAT YOU WOULD NEVER DIE

RISE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND LET THE WORLD KNOW THE REASON WHY
SHINE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND DON'T LET 'EM END THE THINGS YOU DO

ARE YOU FEELIN' ALRIGHT
CAUSE I CARE

SOLO

RISE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND LET THE WORLD KNOW THE REASON WHY
SHINE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND DON'T LET 'EM END THE THINGS YOU DO

RISE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND LET THE WORLD KNOW THE REASON WHY
SHINE AGAIN LITTLE FIGHTER
AND DON'T LET 'EM END THE THINGS YOU DO

Good cause, but, just my opinion, not a great song! Sorry.

Talking Anti-Whaling, anyone been watching the TV series "Whale Wars" featuring the Sea Shepherd organisation. Their ship, named Steve Irwin (after the croc hunter of stingray death fame), is captained by Paul Watson who was one of the founders of Greenpeace but got kicked out or left because the others felt his methods were a little too extreme. Makes for entertaining viewing and also publicizes a good cause. Japanese whaling ships in the antarctic and their "scientific" whaling activities.

I have been watching and I support what they are doing! Hopefully someday the governments of the world wake up and see what we have done and what needs to be done.
