I'm a
Muslim, I'm a Hindu, I'm a Rasta, I'm a Jew, |
|
And
I'm Russian and I'm Chinese and I'm Cherokee and Burmese,
and I'm Celtic and I'm Zulu too, I've ran from Rwanda, while I'm deep in Uganda, underneath the Peruvian moon |
|
and
I keep getting born into their world of sin,
teaching me pride about where I begin, but love's been the only thing that ever helped me, love's been the only thing that ever set me free. |
|
I'm
Norwegian, Israeli, and I'm Welsh and I'm Irani,
and I'm working on a love affair, I'm an ageless little child, with no money or style, and your politics are driving me spare. |
|
and
I keep getting born into their world of sin,
they're making me pride about where I begin, love's been the only thing that ever helped me, love's been the only thing that ever set me free. |
|
I'm
a German I'm a Greek and I'm a Turk and I'm a Sikh
and I'm history's sorrowful woman I'm a Dutch Ukrainian, an English Indonesian a drowning Egyptian |
|
Who
keeps getting born into their world of sin,
making me proud about where I begin, but love's been the only thing that ever helped me, love's been the only thing that ever set me free |
|
I'm
a Yankee, I'm a Hindu, I'm a Rasta, I'm a Jew,
I'm a lover of the rising sun. I'm Catholic and Protestant, with other waters in the font, but I'm the one who forgets the One. |
|
And
I keep getting born into their world of sin,
teaching me pride about where I begin, but love's been the only thing that ever helped me, love's been the only thing that ever set me free. this is my family tree, this is my family tree, this is my family tree, this is my family tree, my family tree, this is my family tree |
