[G] One blue [Am] sky above us, [D] one ocean lapping [G] all our shore,
[Bm] [E] One earth [A] so [Am] green and round, [D] who could ask [G] for more?
And because [Am] I love you, [D] I'll give it one [G] more try
To [E] show [Am] my rainbow race, [D] it's too soon [G] to die
Some folks want to be [Am] like an ostrich, [D] bury their heads [G] in the sand
[E] Some hope [Am] that plastic dreams [D] can unclench all those [G] greedy hands
Some hope to [Am] take the easy way, [D] poisons, bombs, they [G] think we need them
Don't [E] you know you can't kill all [Am] the unbelievers?
[D] There's no shortcut [G] to freedom
One blue [D] sky [Am] above us, [D] one ocean lapping [G] all our shore,
[E] One earth [Am] so green and [D] round, who could ask [G] for more?
And because I [Am] love you, [D] I'll give it one [G] more try
To [E] show my [Am] rainbow [D] race, it's too [G] soon to die
Go tell, go tell all the [Am] little children, [D] tell all the mothers [G] and fathers too
[E] Now it's our last [Am] chance to learn to share what's been [D] given to me [G] and you
One blue sky [Am] above us, [D] one ocean [G] lapping all our shore,
[E] One earth [Am] so green and round, [D] who could ask for [G] more?
And because [Am] I love you, [D] I'll give it one [G] more try
[E] To show my [Am] rainbow [D] race, it's too [G] soon to die
