We are sailors on life's ocean, we are riders of the storm Since the day our ship weighed anchor on the day that we were born Always searching the horizon, as the past we leave behind Some are following the dreamer, some are following the blind.
When we were young, we dreamed of better days But now are dreams they are faded in the past And now we see, the true reality A world divided by religion, creed, and class In a world of war and greed, so many children cry in need Why can't we see, what's meant to be, and do it Differently It's not so hard to see.
A bright blue planet, spinning in the universe Enough for all, if we could learn to care Both black and white, this world of ours would be alright If we could only ever learn to share I'm weary, but I try, to understand the reason why We're created, but seem fated, to destroy or race Alone in time and space.
I can't believe what others in this world perceive The only heaven I believe in's here and now I've seen enough to know, there's nowhere else that we can go We have to change, or re- arrange our world somehow If we believe in hell, then it's here on earth as well For so many it's the only life they'll ever know We've gone and made it so.
A bright blue planet, spinning in the universe What's meant to be, why can't we see Why can't we let it be.
