One blue sky above us, 
 
 One ocean, lapping all our shores. 
 
 One earth so green and round, 
 
 Who could ask for more? 
 
  
  And because I love you 
 
 I'll give it one more try 
 
 To show my rainbow race 
 
 It's too soon to die. 
  
 
 Some folks want to be like an ostrich; 
 
 Bury their heads in the sand 
 
 Some hope for plastic dreams 
 
 To unclench all those greedy hands. 
  
 
 Some want to take the easy way: 
 
 Poisons, bombs! They think we need 'em. 
 
 Don't they know you can't kill all the unbelievers. 
 
 There's no shortcut to freedom 
  
 
 One blue sky above us, 
 
 One ocean, lapping all our shores. 
 
 One earth so green and round, 
 
 Who could ask for more? 
  
 
 And because I love you 
 
 I'll give it one more try. 
 
 To show my rainbow race 
 
 It's too soon to die. 
  
 
 Go tell, go tell all the little children! 
 
 Go tell mothers and fathers, too: 
 
 Now's our last chance to learn to share 
 
 What's been given to me and you 
  
 
 One blue sky above us, 
 
 One ocean, lapping all our shores. 
 
 One earth so green and round, 
 
 Who could ask for more?
