The Big Blue Marble
I had a dream the other night
Dreamt of flyin' what a sight
Soared above our big blue marble
At what I saw I could only marvel
Inspired by a very 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 well maybe I am
The way to be I understand
What life's about and why we're here
Make friends and spread good cheer
Defining laws of right and wrong
Singing a chorus of freedom's song
Looking forward to a better day
We can only hope we can only pray
