I Want To Live - John Denver

[00:14.07]There are children raised in sorrow
[00:16.26]On a scorched and barren plain
[00:20.88]There are children raised beneath a golden sun
[00:26.13]There are children of the water
[00:31.44]Children of the sand
[00:34.32]And they cry out through the universe
[00:36.94]Their voices raised as one
[00:42.82]I want to live I want to grow
[00:45.58]I want to see I want to know
[00:49.14]I want to share what I can give
[00:52.27]I want to be I want to live
[01:01.16]Have you gazed out on the ocean
[01:04.78]Seen the breaching of a whale?
[01:07.78]Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?
[01:13.78]Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away
[01:21.40]Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home?
[01:29.60]I want to live I want to grow
[01:32.78]I want to see I want to know
[01:35.97]I want to share what I can give
[01:39.28]I want to be I want to live
[01:44.78]For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar
[01:49.65]For the native and the wanderer in kind
[01:57.09]For the maker and the user and the mother and her son
[02:03.47]I am looking for my family and all of you are mine
[02:11.90]We are standing all together
[02:13.72]Face to face and arm in arm
[02:17.96]We are standing on the threshold of a dream
[02:24.09]No more hunger no more killing
[02:27.28]No more wasting life away
[02:29.10]It is simply an idea
[02:34.54]And I know its time has come
[02:38.91]I want to live I want to grow
[02:42.28]I want to see I want to know
[02:45.28]I want to share what I can give
[02:48.60]I want to be I want to live
[02:51.97]I want to live I want to grow
[02:54.97]I want to see I want to know
[02:57.97]I want to share what I can give
[03:01.47]I want to be I want to live
