The swift stream of a glimmering waterfall

And the sweet sound of a gentle bird call

Lush vegetation all around

Oh this beauty, and you it does surround

A beautiful blue pond full of fish

Where you and all the innocent children make their greatest wish

The delicious fruits of life

They grow with no pain nor strife

Right out of this soil-enriched ground

Oh this beauty, and you it does surround

The sky is cloudless, never with a storm or a fright

Even at night

The stars are full and bright

And the moon, always so stark and full

At all times, the tides of the oceans it seamlessly pulls

In some ways, this may sound profound

But oh this beauty, and you it does surround
