Citizen Of The Planet Teclado

	  Intro: C#5  B5  A5  G#5 

C#5               B5 
I start up in the north 
                    A5 
I grow from special seed  
                   G#5              C#5                  B5 
I sprinkle it with sensibility from French and Hungarian snow  
                 A5                      G#5 
I linger in the sprouting until my engine’s full  

(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
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  

(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
Wide eyed, new ground  
Humbled by my new surroundings  

C#5               D#5 D5 
I am a citizen of the planet  
C#5               D#5 D5 
My president is kwan yin  
C#5               D#5 D5 
My frontier is on an airplane  
C#5               D#5 D5 
My prisons: homes for rehabilitating

(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
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 calling from beyond  
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred  

(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am a citizen of the planet  
My laws are all of attraction  
My punishments are consequences  
Separating from source the original sin  

(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am citizen of the planet  
Democracy’s kids are sovereign  
Where the teachers are the sages  
And pedestals fill with every parent  

(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
And so, the next few years are blurry 
The next decades’ a flurry of smells and tastes unknown  
Threads sewn straight, through this fabric, 
Through fields of every color, one culture to another  

(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
I come alive and I get giddy 
I am taken and globally naturalized  

(C#5  D#5  D5) 
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  

(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am a citizen of the planet  
My favorite pastime edge stretching  
Besotten with human condition  
These ideals are borne from my deepest within
