It started in Dublin before I was born
Crossing the Irish Sea to weather a storm.
London called through the wind and rain
Big city lights and a country's flame.
To Manchester then, a city united
At least to outsiders.
But to those within it's somewhat
Divided.

Summers in France.
Dining in Provence
Time in Toulouse
And along the Loire.
But Paris! Paris has that
Je ne sais quoi
Fine wine, fine company
It's a fine philosophy.

A German exchange
in einer stadt namens
Bad Bentheim.
Exposed to a culture
And the work of Rammstein.
A few days in Berlin
A fantastic city with much
History within.

Gondolas in Vienna if only for a day
Sailing down the Danube
Water wants us on our way.
We stay for a while
Within the walls of Budapest,
My first shot of Absinthe
Puts my liver to the test.

No rest for the wicked
That wanderlust I long.
Settled for a while by the lights of
Hong Kong,
A place I felt for a while at peace
High in the Monastery of Lantau's peeks.
I went once and I went again.
When wizened crones speak of golden devils,
Stroking my blonde hair on the streets of
Shenzhen.

I dream of a world which is perfect
a world with nothing but respect
where i am a small but important part
where love and joy ain't miles apart

I dream of a world where politics isn't a game
it has people with might and vision but no dismay
Where in every aspect girls are better than the boys
oh, who am i kidding?
They're already better than these rookies
who eat, sleep and both with noise
i dream of world where religion is just a path
where people know they'll reach the same destination
and not a strath
I dream of a world where everyone is just and unbiased
love, joy, difficulties are shared by all, even the shyest
where people die, but are never forgotten
where friendships are never, never rotten

I dream

If you accept him
a complex formation of every quality
then you have crossed
**life itself
