I want to live

I want to live

John Denver singing "I Want To Live".




There are children raised in sorrow on a scorched and barren plain

There are children raised beneath the 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 wanna live, I wanna grow

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be, I wanna 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 wanna live, I wanna grow

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be, I wanna live



For the worker and 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 a dream

No more hunger, no more killing, no more wasting like a way

It is simply an idea and I know its time has come



I wanna live, I wanna grow

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be



I wanna live, I wanna grow

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be



I wanna live, I wanna grow

I wanna see, I wanna know

I wanna share what I can give

I wanna be, I wanna live



I wanna live, I want to live
