Monty Harper Songbook

Citizen of the World - song lyric
by Will Hale and Monty Harper

My grandpa speaks German
Grandma came from Paris (Par-EE)
Mom was born in Ohio
It's only part of my family tree!
I am more than American  
I am a citizen of the world

Guatemalan bananas
Peruvian beets
Colby cheese from Wisconsin
If we really are what we eat
Then I'm more than American  
I am a citizen of the world
 
I've been emailing photos
Back and forth to Sudan
And thanks to the Internet
I even jam with my friends in Japan
I am more than American  
I am a citizen of the world

You can't bottle sunshine
It's something we share
We drink the same water
And all of us breathe the same air
The Earth is our only home
Wherever our flags are unfurled

We are more than our nations
We are citizens of the world
I am more than American  
I am a citizen of the world
