lyrics
Im a world citizen, citizen of the world//
The world is far from perfect, so we need it to unfurl//
Let me give you an example of how it should be//
Just sit down and listen, ill make you some tea//
Let'me give you some news, ill be ur anchorman//
My country is the world, all men are my brethren//
Accept that we are one, but all unique//
Like different flowers in one garden, so to speak//
We've got to Work hand in glove, for a true community
Put your best foot forward so we do get Unity
Thats the ultimate goal, for a world citizen
And if it doesnt work, we'll just try it again
Soak it in, let it sink in, it goes far//
We are far, far away from that what we really want//
It always starts with a dream, guess we're in between//
Just gotta make it visual like it fits on a screen//
I'm a world citizen, citizen of the world//
I know every man consists of diamonds and pearls//
It doesn't matter where you're from//
'Cause I know that we are one//
Im a world citizen, citizen of the world//
I send this message out to every boy and girl//
The thoughts you put in your head, they come out when you act//
In interaction with others, so I love practicing tact//
In a world where citizens are countrymen fellows
whom conversate meaningful, this song is for those//
I guess these songs depict a world packed with meaningful flows//
Where even stuff and nonsense is making you grow//
How does that sound to you, it sounds wonderful//
Like a waterfall, coast down with no obstable//
It's pretty beautiful, when you wake up every rise//
And your community's unity, everybody acting nice, right//
And I don't take this lightly, there's no need to pinch me//
Every fool who says dreams are a waste of time//
I believe in God, that's a whole other subject
World unity is a dream of globalisation and logic//
I'm a world citizen, citizen of the world//
I know every man consists of diamonds and pearls//
It doesn't matter where you're from//
'Cause I know that we are one//
