G          D/F#                 Em     Em7/D
Why do fear what we don't understand
                     C        D            G
Can we reach out our hands to try just say hello
B              C                 D
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need
           Em    D         Em      B   C
To make it grow - just say hello
                D
And when you're far from home
       G          D/F#     Em   Em7/D
Try to learn from what you see
     C                  D              G
Your eyes will tell you everything you need


Why do we dread what we don't really know
Come not as concubine - come not as foe
Come with intentions clearly shown
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need
To make it grow - just say hello
And though you're far from home
Try to learn from all you see          C    G/B  Am   D
Your mind will tell you everything you need

And though you're far from home
       C          G/B       Am
Try to learn what you could be
     F                   G              C

Ain't it grand here we stand - on foreign sand
Together we stand - here we stand on foreign sand
