Lyrics:John Denver Music: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 Is nowhere else I need to go Is nothing that I want for myself That I don't want for everyone To work in peace and 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 one world Can you imagine one world, one world 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 all right Why are you calling this the Third World I only know that it is my world Maybe someday it can be one world Can you imagine one world, one world This world is made for everybody This life is gift for everyone This earth is bound to keep on turning This day is flowers in the sunshine, sunshine Why are you calling this the Third World I only know that it is my world Maybe someday it can be one world Can you imagine 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 one world Can you imagine one world, one world
