It is One — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

They shot a man into the sky

The moon and stars became his bed

He saw the sun rise seven times

And when he came back down he said



It is one, it is one

One world spinning round the sun

Wherever it is you call home

Whatever country you come from

It is one, it is one, it is one, it is one



They shot a man if africa

At a time of rivalry and war

He had some dreams of a good life

But dreams arent what they killed him for



Now people stand themselves next to the righteous

And they believe the things they say are true

They speak in terms of what divides us

To justify the violence they do



But it is one, it is one

One world spinning round the sun

Wherever it is you call home

Whatever country you come from

It is one, it is one, it is one, it is one

One -- the deep blue ocean

One -- the endless sky

One -- the purple mountains

One -- you and i



Its not a world of our own choosing

We dond decide where we are born

This life is a battleground between right and wrong

One way or other we are torn



And people stand themselves next to the righteous

And they believe the things they say are true

And speak in terms of what divides us

To justify the violence they do



But it is one, it is one

One world spinning round the sun

Wherever it is you call home

Whatever country you come from

It is one, it is one, it is one, it is one

It is one, it is one, it is one, it is one

One -- the deep blue ocean

One -- the endless sky

One -- the purple mountains

One -- you and i
