Story Behind The Song
Band wanted to write a song about their experiences in visiting over 100 countries.
Song Description
"Earth Passport" is the title track and first single released from Liquid Blue's sophomore album. Produced by Robin DiMaggio (David Bowie, Paul Simon) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Chris Isaak) and Joe Chiccarelli (six-time Grammy winner). The song was written with a "one-world" perspective from a band that has traveled to over 100 countries. The United Nations has invited Liquid Blue to perform their new single at the UN Headquarters General Assembly in New York City, this October, 2010. The song is sung in nine languages including all six official UN languages and has been dedicated to the US Department of Peace. It will also be featured on the upcoming "Earthsong Anthology". Earth Passport was a Finalist in the Peacedriven Songwriting Awards in 2009 and was nominated in the World Category at the 2009 Hollywood Music in Media Awards. With a driving dance beat and heavy bass line, Earth Passport is harder-hitting than previous releases and suits itself to the genres of World and Dance.

Lyrics
Envision, in your mind an open door to all the world
One planet, one people, a world where fear does not exist
All nations, united, and human rights for everyone
It can happen, why can't we?
Take me to a place where there's peace in the human race
Where everyone is treated the same, regardless of their name
Where the arts flourish here, where there's no such thing as fear
The people dance, the people sing, let freedom ring
Step into, the shoes of, your brothers in distress and pain
Perspective is changing, open hearts can change the world
Change places, new vision, inviting all into the dance
It can happen, why can't we?
Earth passport, no visa.
