One World

Well I guess that you probably know by now 
 I was one who wanted to fly 
 I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven 
 And I wanted to go for every man 
 Every child, every mother of children 
 I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars 


 And I prayed that I'd find an answer there 
 Or maybe I would find a song 
 Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard 
 And for all of the ones who live in fear 
 And all of those who stand apart 
 My being there would bring us a little step closer together 


 They were flying for me 
 They were flying for everyone 
 They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone 


 They gave us their light 
 They gave us their spirit and all they could be 
 They were flying for me 
 They were flying for me 


 And I wanted to wish on the Milky Way 
 And dance upon a falling star 
 I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join myself with it all 


 Given the chance to dream, it can be done 
 The promise of tomorrow is real 
 Children of spaceship Earth 
 The future belongs to us all 


 She was flying for me 
 She was flying for everyone 
 She was trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone 


 She gave us her light 
 She gave us her spirit and all she can be 
 She was flying for me 
 They were flying for me 
 They were flying for everyone 
 They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone 
 They gave us their light 
 They gave us their spirit and all they could be 
 They were flying for me.
