My essence shaken in the sun of Puerto Rico,
my tears falling from my eyes in a train in Paris,
my despair walking in London rain,
and my sadness falling in the river Nile.

I'd rather see the Egyptian ruins,
I'd rather feel the Moroccan heat,
I'd rather be in the Brazilian Amazon,
than feel like you've betrayed my believes.

I'd rather be in Italy rowing in the canals,
I'd rather be in the Australian dessert,
than feel this hopelessness in my soul.

I'd rather dance to Samba in a carnival in Portugal,
I'd rather go to India and read a book in the Taj Mahal,
I'd rather see the starlit skies of Ethiopia,
than feel this new found emptiness inside.
