[Intro]
C C7 Fm C
[Verse]
C C7 Fm
I start up in the north, I grow up from special seed
C
I sprinkle it with sensibility
C C7
From French and Hungarian snow
Fm C
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full
C C7 Fm
Then I move across the sea to European bliss
C
To language of poets
C C7
As I cut the cord of home
Fm C
I kiss my mother's mother, look to the horizon
[Bridge]
C C7
Wide-eyed, new ground
Fm C
Humbled by my new surroundings
[Chorus]
C
I am a citizen of the planet
C
My president is Kwan Yin
C
My frontier is on an airplane
C
My prisons: homes for rehabilitating
[Instrumental]
C
[Verse]
C C7 Fm
Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear
C
But everything is different
C C7
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened
Fm C
Patriotism expanded, by callings from beyond
[Bridge]
C C7
So I pack my things
Fm
Nothing precious
C
All things sacred
[Chorus]
C
I am a citizen of the planet
C
My laws are all of attraction
C
My punishments are consequences
C
Separating from source the original sin
C
I am a citizen of the planet
C
Democracy's kids are sovereign
C
Where the teachers are the sages
C
And pedestals fill with every parent
[Verse]
C C7
And so, the next few years are blurry
Fm C
The next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
C C7
Threads sewn straight through this fabric
Fm C
Through fields of every color, one culture to another
[Bridge]
C C7
And I come alive
Fm
And I get giddy
C
And I am taken and globally naturalized
[Chorus]
C
I am a citizen of the planet
C
From simple roots through high vision
C
I am guarded by the angels
C
And my body guides the direction I go in
C
I am a citizen of the planet
C
My favorite pastime: edge-stretching
C
Besotten with human condition
C
These ideals are born from my deepest within
[Outro]
