Geography


The way you see the world

It seems to me

Is mostly determined by geography

Where were you on earth?

At the time of your birth?

Who will you worship?

What will you be?

What will you fight for?

Will you be free?

So remember when we disagree

It's mostly just geography

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain...

Billy - On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said "leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone

YDG - Glad you like it. I wrote it this morning. I moved around some when I was a kid too but just in the U.S.
