All things sacred
Where the teachers are the sages
Humbled by my new surroundings
Then I fly back to my nest
Democracy's kids are sovereign
As I cut the cord of home, I kiss my mother's mother
So I pack my things, nothing precious
And pedestals fill with every parent
The next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
I am a citizen of the planet
Through fields of every color, one culture to another
My frontier is on an airplane
My prisons, homes for rehabilitating
I am a citizen of the planet
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full
My body guides the direction I go in
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin
To European bliss, to language of poets
My yearn for home is broadened
And I am taken and globally naturalized
And I come alive and I get giddy
Look to the horizon
Then I move across the sea
Patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
My laws are all of attraction
But everything is different
Besotten with human condition
I fly back with my nuclear
I am a citizen of the planet
So I wait
From simple roots through high vision
My favorite pastime edge stretching
I am guarded by the angels
And so, the next few years are blurry
My president is Kwan Yin
I am a citizen of the planet
Threads sewn straight through this fabric
From French and Hungarian snow
Wide eyed, new ground
I am a citizen of the planet
