    I Want to Live

    There are children raised in sorrow
    On a scorched and barren plain
    There are children raised beneath a golden sun
    There are children of the water
    Children of the sand
    And they cry out through the universe
    Their voices raised as one

    I want to live I want to grow
    I want to see I want to know
    I want to share what I can give
    I want to be I want to live

    Have you gazed out on the ocean
    Seen the breaching of a whale?
    Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?
    Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away
    Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home?

    I want to live I want to grow
    I want to see I want to know
    I want to share what I can give
    I want to be I want to live

    For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar
    For the native and the wanderer in kind
    For the maker and the user and the mother and her son
    I am looking for my family and all of you are mine

    We are standing all together
    Face to face and arm in arm
    We are standing on the threshold of s dream
    No more hunger no more killing
    No more wasting life away
    It is simply an idea
    And I know its time has come

    I want to live I want to grow
    I want to see I want to know
    I want to share what I can give
    I want to be I want to live
