about

It's an obvious question.

lyrics

four winds, seven seas
relative humanities
everywhere I look I see
some one looking back at me

nation states and border lines
divided states of mind
politics comes to blows
and everybody wants to know

whose world is this?

First World riding high
Second World standing by
Third World under fire
funny how we all conspire

we don't know 'cause we can't see
how such a way could come to be
riding on a spinning wheel
soon enough will be revealed

whose world is this?

what kind of world will our children receive
after all is said and done?
what kind of creed have we come to believe
that they may never receive one?

what kind of world will our children receive
after all is said and done?
what kind of creed must we come to believe
if they are ever to receive one?

four winds, seven seas
relative humanities
everywhere I look I see
some one looking back at me
