Big Blue Marble
I had a dream the other night
Dreamt of flying, what a sight
Soared above our big blue marble
What I saw, I could only marvel
Inspired by the peaceful scene
The oceans blue, the forests green
If only man could soar so high
He'd view it all with a different eye
From way up there, no sign of war
No sign of hunger, of nations poor
Harmony reigns with joy supreme
Gliding over this tranquil scene
Call me a dreamer, maybe I am
Great way to be, I understand
What life's about and why we're here
Making friends and spreading cheer
Defining laws of right from wrong
Singing a chorus of freedom's song
Looking forward to a better day
We can only hope and only pray
