[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]
