Duration: P00H03M23S

lyrics

The Way I See It (From Here In Orbit)

The way I see it
From here in orbit
The earth's a great place
Bright spot in dark space

From where I'm sitting
There is no Peking
There's no Russia
No America

I see the warm sand
I see the rough land
I see the great rivers flow
I see the blue seas
I see the green trees
I see the white puffs of clouds
I see the white puffs of clouds

The way I see it
There is no great split
Between the East
And the West

From where I'm sitting
There is no fighting
No party slogans
And nobody needs guns

I see no borders
I hear no orders
I see the wide open plains
I see no great wall
I hear no role call
I see no reason to fear
I see no reason to fear

The way I see it
There are no limits
To live and love
And be free

From where I'm sitting
There is no quitting
There's no place for hate
And we control our fate

I see the sun rise
I see our star rise
I see a future that's bright
I see one nation
A new creation
I see us all hand in hand
I see us all hand in hand
All hand in hand
All over this land
I see us all hand in hand
Hand in hand
All over this land
Hand in hand

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
