Intro :
I start up in the n orth
I grow from special s eed
I sprinkle it with s ensibility from F rench and Hungarian s now
I linger in the sp routing until my engine? s full
Th en I mo ve acr oss th e 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
Wi de eyed new g round
Humbled by my new surroundings
I am a citizen of t he pla net
M y president is kwa n yin
M y frontier is on a n airp lane
M y prisons: homes f or reh abilitating
Th en I fl y 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
I am a ci tizen o f the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin
I am citi zen of the planet
Democracy?s kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent
An d so th e next few y ears 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
I come al ive an d I ge t giddy
I am taken and globally naturalized
I am a ci tizen o f 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 ci tizen o f the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
These ideals are borne from my deepest within
