I kiss my mother's mother
Look to the horizon
C#5Wide eyed B5new A5ground G#5
Humbled by my new surroundings

Verse
C#5Then I B5fly back A5to my G#5nest
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

Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent

Threads sewn straight through this fabric
Through fields of every color one culture to another

My body guides the direction I go in

I C#5am a D#5citizen D5of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
These ideals are borne from my deepest within
