| [00:10.26] |
|
| [00:12.99] |
I start up in the north, I grow from special seed |
| [00:20.50] |
I sprinkle it with sensibility |
| [00:25.06] |
From French and Hungarian snow |
| [00:30.05] |
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full |
| [00:37.79] |
Then I move across the sea |
| [00:42.80] |
To European bliss, to language of poets |
| [00:49.63] |
As I cut the cord of home, I kiss my mother's mother |
| [00:58.63] |
Look to the horizon |
| [01:02.77] |
Wide eyed, new ground |
| [01:08.10] |
Humbled by my new surroundings |
| [01:15.54] |
I am a citizen of the planet |
| [01:18.86] |
My president is Kwan Yin |
| [01:22.05] |
My frontier is on an airplane |
| [01:25.25] |
My prisons, homes for rehabilitating |
| [01:31.43] |
|
| [01:41.16] |
Then I fly back to my nest |
| [01:45.86] |
I fly back with my nuclear |
| [01:48.98] |
But everything is different |
| [01:52.76] |
So I wait |
| [01:55.31] |
My yearn for home is broadened |
| [01:58.48] |
Patriotism expanded by callings from beyond |
| [02:05.95] |
So I pack my things, nothing precious |
| [02:14.54] |
All things sacred |
| [02:18.67] |
I am a citizen of the planet |
| [02:21.99] |
My laws are all of attraction |
| [02:25.08] |
My punishments are consequences |
| [02:28.30] |
Separating from source the original sin |
| [02:32.28] |
I am a citizen of the planet |
| [02:34.62] |
Democracy's kids are sovereign |
| [02:37.68] |
Where the teachers are the sages |
| [02:40.95] |
And pedestals fill with every parent |
| [02:44.58] |
And so, the next few years are blurry |
| [02:49.29] |
The next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown |
| [02:56.55] |
Threads sewn straight through this fabric |
| [03:01.73] |
Through fields of every color, one culture to another |
| [03:09.48] |
And I come alive and I get giddy |
| [03:17.46] |
And I am taken and globally naturalized |
| [03:22.12] |
I am a citizen of the planet |
| [03:25.11] |
From simple roots through high vision |
| [03:28.36] |
I am guarded by the angels |
| [03:31.46] |
My body guides the direction I go in |
| [03:34.90] |
I am a citizen of the planet |
| [03:37.74] |
My favorite pastime edge stretching |
| [03:40.84] |
Besotten with human condition |
| [03:44.09] |
These ideals are borne from my deepest within |
| [03:56.98] |
|
| [03:58.77] |
