What would I love to witness?
to see the ocean pacific,
and the cities alive upon its shore
from Sacramento to Seattle
Or Paris\' Eiffel tower,
or the Parthenon in Greece
or perhaps the tower of Pisa
Far away in Italy?
What of the Bahamas or the Amazon,
or the forests of west Oregon?
I could sail St. Lawrence or meander Mississippi
down to New Orleans to greet the Gulf below me
oh, I long to see the Rockies
or the chilean Andes;
the Russian taiga and of Warsaw,
and the old lands of Mesopotamia
I\'d travel the royal roads like the Persians before me
see the world I have not yet seen,
so eagerly this dream I sing-
from home I\'ll fly with Orchid\'s wings!
