I have always wanted to see this,
I have always wanted to see that,
I have always wanted to do this,
I have always wanted to do that,
Before I am taken away
From mother earth.
The wish of a small child,
That grew into adulthood,
Will I ever speak about
Will I ever reveal?
Before I am taken away
From mother earth.
When will I get to see,
How will I ever see?
Who will take me along,
Who will show me around?
Before I am taken away
From mother earth.
It is far, very far away,
It is not anywhere near,
Will I ever in time reach
Across the seas, across the ocean,
Before I am taken away
From mother earth.
You thrust it in my hands, dear child
The means to go, across the waters,
To fly in planes and ride on boats,
To see the dolphins, to see the penguins,
Before I am taken away
From mother earth.
Everyone in this world has such dreams,
But not everyone has been so blessed,
I thank you my children, and my greater half
In making my dreams take shape and come true
Before I am taken away
From mother earth.
