Citizen Of The Planet

[Intro: ]C#5 B5 A5 G#5 C#5 B5 I start up in the north A5 I grow from special seed G#5 C#5 B5 I sprinkle it with sensibility from French and Hungarian snow A5 G#5 I linger in the sprouting until my engine’s full (C#5 B5 A5 G#5) Then I move across the sea To European bliss To language of poets As I cut the cord of home I kiss my mother’s mother Look to the horizon (C#5 B5 A5 G#5) Wide eyed, new ground Humbled by my new surroundings C#5 D#5 D5 I am a citizen of the planet C#5 D#5 D5 My president is kwan yin C#5 D#5 D5 My frontier is on an airplane C#5 D#5 D5 My prisons: homes for rehabilitating C#5 B5 A5 G#5 (C#5 B5 A5 G#5) Then I fly back to my nest I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, Patriotism expanded by calling from beyond So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred (C#5 D#5 D5) I am a citizen of the planet My laws are all of attraction My punishments are consequences Separating from source the original sin (C#5 D#5 D5) I am citizen of the planet Democracy’s kids are sovereign Where the teachers are the sages And pedestals fill with every parent (C#5 B5 A5 G#5) And so, the next few years are blurry The next decades’ a flurry of smells and tastes unknown Threads sewn straight, through this fabric, Through fields of every color, one culture to another (C#5 B5 A5 G#5) I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized (C#5 D#5 D5) I am a citizen of the planet From simple roots through high vision I am guarded by the angels My body guides the direction I go in (C#5 D#5 D5) I am a citizen of the planet My favorite pastime edge stretching Besotten with human condition These ideals are borne from my deepest within
