I WANT TO LIVE – J DENVER
D
There are children raised in sorrow
Bm D
On a scorched and barren plain
G Em D – A7
There are children raised beneath a golden sun
D
There are children of the water
Bm D
Children of the sand
G Em C A
And they cry out through the universe Their Voices raised as one
A D Dmaj7
I want to live i want to grow
G Gadd9
I want to see i want to know
A G
I want to share what i can give
A D
I want to be i want to live
D
Have you gazed out on the ocean
Bm D
Seen the breaching of a whale?
G Em D – A7
Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?
D
Have you heard the song the humpback hears
Bm D
five hundred miles away
G Em C A
Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home? (chorus)
Em Bm
(Bridge) For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar
C Em D
For the native and the wanderer in kind
Em Bm
For the maker and the user and the mother and her son
C Em C A7
I am looking for my family and all of you are mine
D
We are standing all together
Bm D
Face to face and arm in arm
G Em D – A7
We are standing on the threshold of a dream
D
No more hunger no more killing
Bm D
No more wasting life away
G Em C A
It is simply an idea and I know it’s time has come (Chorus Repeat last line 2X)
