[Verse 1]
But [D]if you believe you're
a citizen of the world,
you're [F]a citizen of [D]nowhere.
You don't understand
[F]what the very word citizen[D]ship means.
If you live within a box,
you aren't aware that you're in a box,
but once you start seeing
who else is around
and that there are other cultures
and that are other people.
The more you know about
different people,
the more you know about yourself.
Well [C]we've [D]come a long [C#m]way
[D]for to find ourselves a [C#m]home.
