One World Songtext
von John Denver

Don′t want to live in New York City, man
Don't want to live in Tokyo
I want to stay in my own village, man
There′s nowhere else I need to go
There's nothing that I want for myself
That I don't want for everyone
To work in peace, to live in freedom
To look and never see a gun

Why are you calling this the third world?
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world? One world, yeah
Oh, yeah


My heart, it hurts more than my belly
So hard to live in poverty
I want to work for my own living, man
Don′t want someone to care for me
Don′t want to speak of revolution
It starts to sounding like a fight
I give myself to evolution
One world will make it be alright

Why are you calling this the third world?
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world? One world, yeah

This world is made for everybody
This life is a gift for everyone
The surface's bound to keep on turning
This day is flowers in the sunshine, sunshine, yeah
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah), oh, yeah

Why are you calling this the third world?
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it will be our world
Can you imagine someday one world? One world

Why are you calling this the third world?
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world? One world, yeah


Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Oh, yeah
Only one world
Maybe one world
Only one world, yeah, one world
Only one world, yeah, one world
One world, yeah!
