It Is One - Jackson Browne

It Is One (LP版) - Jackson Browne
They shot a man into the sky
The moon and stars became his bed
He saw the sun rise seven times
And when he came back down he said
It is one
It is one
One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
It is one
Whatever country you come from
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
They shot a man in Africa
At a time of rivalry and war
He had some dreams of a good life
But dreams aren't what they killed him for
Now people stand themselves next to the righteous
And they believe the things they say are true
They speak in terms of what divides us
To justify the violence they do
But it is one
It is one
One world one world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
It is one
Whatever country you come from
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
One the deep blue ocean
One the endless sky
One the purple mountains
One you and I
It's not a world of our own choosing
We don't decide where we are born
This life is a battleground between right and wrong
One way or other we are torn
And people stand themselves next to the righteous
And they believe the things they say are true
And speak in terms of what divides us
To justify the violence they do
But it is one
It is one
One world one world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
It is one
Whatever country you come from
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
It is one
One the purple mountains
One the deep blue sea
One all of creation
One you and me
One
It is one
It is one
One
