I start up in the north i grow from special seed I sprinkle it with sensibility From French and Hungarian snow I linger in the sprouting until my engine´s full
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
Wide eyed, new ground Humbled by my new surroundings
I am a citizen of the planet My president is kwan yin My frontier is on an airplane My prisons: homes for rehabilitating
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 callings from beyond
So i pack my things nothing precious All things sacred
I am a citizen of the planet My laws are all of attraction My punishments are consequences Separating from source the original sin
I am a citizen of the planet Democracy´s kids are sovereign Where the teachers are the sages And pedestals fill with every parent
And so, the next few years are blurry
The next decade´s a flurry of smells and tastes unknown Threads sewn straight through this fabric Through fields of every color one culture to another
I come alive and i get giddy And i taken and globally naturalized
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
I am a citizen of the planet My favorite pastime edge stretching Besotten with human condition These ideals are borne from my deepest within
