[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][G][C][G][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
There [G]are
children raised in sorrow
[Em]On a scorched and barren plain
There are [C]children raised [Am]be
neath a golden [G]sun[D]
There are [G]children of the water
[Em]Children of the sand
[C]And they cry out through the uni[Am]verse
Their [F]voices raised as [D]one

[Verse 2]
I want [G]to live I want to grow
I want to [C]see I want to know
I [Bm]want to share what I can [C]give
I [D]want to be I want to live
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
Have [G]you gazed out on the ocean
Seen the [Em]breaching of
a whale?
[C]Have you watched the dolphins
[Am]frolic in [G]the foam?[D]
Have [G]you heard the song the humpback
hears five [Em]hundred miles away
Telling [C]tales of ancient [Am]history
of [F]passages and [D]home?

[Verse 4]
I [G]want to live I want to grow
I [C]want to see I want to know
I want [Bm]to share what I can [C]give
I [D]want to be I want to live
[G]

[Verse 5]
For the [Am]worker and the warrior
the [Em]lover and the liar
For the [F]native and the [Am]wanderer [G]in kind
For the [Am]maker and the user
and the [Em]mother and her son
I am [F]looking for my [Am]family
an[F]d all of you are [D]mine

[Verse 6]
We [G]are standing all together
Face to [Em]face and arm in arm
[C]We are standing on [Am]the threshold
of [G]s dream[D]
No more hun[G]ger no more killing
No more [Em]wasting life away
[C]It is simply [Am]an idea
And I [F]know its time has [D]come

[Verse 7]
I want to [G]live I want to grow
I [C]want to see I want to know
I [Bm]want to share what I can [A]give
I want [D]to[G][C][Bm][A][D]
[G][C][Bm][A]
[D][G][C][Bm][A]
[D]be [G]I w[C]ant t[D]o live
[G]
