It Is One Jackson Browne

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
It is one, it is one
One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home (It is one)
Whatever country you come from
It is one, it is one, it is one, it is one

[Verse 2]
They shot a man in Africa
At a time of rivalry and war
He had some dreams of a good life
But dreams aren't what they killed him for

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
But it is one, it is one
(One world) One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home (It is one)
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
