           G                                  
there are children raised in sorrow

       E                          
On a scorched and barren plain

           C                Am                  G     
There are children raised beneath a golden sun

D7         G                      
There are children of the water

 Em                     
Children of the sand

          C                   Am        
And they cry out through the universe

        E              D    Dsus4    
Their voices raised as one

D         G               Gmaj7     
I want to live i want to grow

          C              Cadd9    
I want to see i want to know

            F                C   
I want to share what i can give 

          D              G     
I want to be i want to live

         G                         
Have you gazed out on the ocean

           Em                      
Seen the breaching of a whale?

           C                  Am                  G  
Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?

D7          G                                    Em                     
Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away

         C                Am         E                       
Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home?
(chorus)
          Am                        Em                  
For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar

          Em             Am          G         
For the native and the wanderer in kind

         Am                          Em                     
For the maker and the user and the mother and her son 

        Em           Am         E              D7         
I am looking for my family and all of you are mine

        G                    
We are standing all together

        Em                        
Face to face and arm in arm

        C               Am                   G  
We are standing on the threshold of a dream

D7        G                       
No more hunger no more killing 

           Em                   
No more wasting life away

        G        Am          
It is simply an idea

        E                D     
And i know its time has come
Chorus
