I Want To Live(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro:G      Am  D7 
 
          G                                 Em 
There are children raised in sorrow    on a scorched  
                              C                 Am 
and barren plain    there are children raised beneath  
           G   D7               G 
the golden sun        there are children of the water   
Em                                 C   
children of the sand      and they cry throughout  
    Am                   F                D 
the universe       their voices raised as one 
 
                  G                               C 
CHORUS: I want to live  I want to grow  I want to see  
                          Bm                 C 
I want to know  I want to share   what I can give  
          D             G 
I want to be  I want to live 
 
         G                                Em    
Have you gazed out on the ocean, seen the breaching  
                       C      
of a whale    have you watched the dolphins  
Am            G     D7             G 
frolic in the foam        have you heard the sound  
                        Em 
the humpback hears five hundred miles away    
        C                Am          F            D 
telling tales of ancient history  of passages and home 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
        Am                          Em 
For the worker and the warrior  the lover and the liar 
        F              Am          G    D7 
for the native and the wanderer in kind     
        Am                          Em 
for the maker and the user      the mother and her son   
     F              Am            F              D     
I am looking for my family    and all of you are mine 
 
       G                              Em 
We are standing all together  face to face and arm in arm 
       C               Am             G    D7 
We are standing on the threshold of a dream    
        G                               Em 
no more hunger no more killing  no more wasting life away   
      C         Am            F                  D 
it is simply an idea    and I know it's time has come 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE 
     
    C    D          G        C    D          G 
END:      I want to live           I want to live
