John Denver - I Want to Live

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
And 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, and 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, and I wanna know
I wanna share what I can give
I wanna be, I wanna 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, 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, arm in arm
We are standing on the threshold of a 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 wanna live, I wanna grow
I wanna see, and I wanna know
I wanna share what I can give
I wanna be

I wanna live, and I wanna grow
I wanna see, and I wanna know
I wanna share what I can give
I wanna be

I wanna live, and 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
