I Want To Live

[Intro:]G Am D7 G Em There are children raised in sorrow on a scorched C Am and barren plain there are children raised beneath G D7 G the golden sun there are children of the water Em C children of the sand and they cry throughout Am F D the universe their voices raised as one G C CHORUS: I want to live I want to grow I want to see Bm C I want to know I want to share what I can give D G I want to be I want to live G Em Have you gazed out on the ocean, seen the breaching C of a whale have you watched the dolphins Am G D7 G frolic in the foam have you heard the sound Em the humpback hears five hundred miles away C Am F D telling tales of ancient history of passages and home REPEAT CHORUS Am Em For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar F Am G D7 for the native and the wanderer in kind Am Em for the maker and the user the mother and her son F Am F D I am looking for my family and all of you are mine G Em We are standing all together face to face and arm in arm C Am G D7 We are standing on the threshold of a dream G Em no more hunger no more killing no more wasting life away C Am F D it is simply an idea and I know it's time has come REPEAT CHORUS TWICE C D G C D G END: I want to live I want to live
