Música da semana passada... e dos próximos dias

Citizen Of The Planet

Alanis Morissette

I start up in the north

I grow from a special seed

I sprinkle it with sensibility

From French and Hungarian snow

I linger in the sprouting

Until my engine's full

Then I move across the sea

To European bliss

To language of poets

As I cut the cord of home

I kiss my mother's mother

Look to the horizon

Wide eyed, new ground

Humbled by my new surroundings

I am a citizen of the planet

My president is Kuan Yin

My frontier is on an airplane

My prisons, homes for rehabilitating

Then I fly back to my rest

I fly back with my nuclear

But everything is different

So I wait

My yearn for home is broadened

Patriotism expanded

By callings from beyond

So I pack my things

Nothing precious

All things sacred

I am a citizen of the planet

My laws are all of attraction

My punishments are consequences

Separating from source the original sin

I am a citizen of the planet

Democracy's kids are sovereign

Where the teachers are the sages

And pedestals filled with every parent

And so the next few years are blurry

The next decade's a flurry

Of smells and tastes unknown

Threads sewn straight through this fabric

Through fields of every color

One culture to another

And I come alive

And I get giddy

And I am taken and globally naturalized

I am a citizen of the planet

From simple roots through high vision

I am guarded by the angels

And my body guides the direction I go in

I am a citizen of the planet

My favorite pastime edge stretching

Besotten with human condition

These ideals are born from my deepest within
