about
I have an idea with this one to send it out to the world and ask for people to record themselves singing "one blue sky" at the end in their language and then mixing them all together into a chorus.
lyrics
They've cut us in pieces like American Pie
Everyone is fighting for their own slice
It's old advice from roman times
Before you conquer you must first divide
It doesn't matter if you agree
I affect you and you affect me
So lets raise a glass, raise it high
We are one under one blue sky
If you want to dance, dance -- make your fighting stance your stance
Everyone must practice what we're preaching to have a chance
So let's raise a glass, raise 'em high
We are one under one blue sky
When we return to dust
and truth be told we must
there will be no one to mourn or cry
but the world will keep on spinning under one blue sky
Everyone is fighting for their own slice
It's old advice from roman times
Before you conquer you must first divide
It doesn't matter if you agree
I affect you and you affect me
So lets raise a glass, raise it high
We are one under one blue sky
If you want to dance, dance -- make your fighting stance your stance
Everyone must practice what we're preaching to have a chance
So let's raise a glass, raise 'em high
We are one under one blue sky
When we return to dust
and truth be told we must
there will be no one to mourn or cry
but the world will keep on spinning under one blue sky
