What is this strange place?
A collage of fresh dreams
What is playing on the TV bolted to the tree?
Wonderful stimulation pushing me up the stream.

I've never seen a sky so blue.
I've never seen plants so green.
I've never seen a sunset so red.
Or a waterfall so silvery.

Am I in the Amazon?
It is where I've always wanted to go.
The TV conducts humanity without words.
Fused to a symphony of birds.

Should I swim up and down the river?
Or eat bananafruit so sweet
Am I alone in this green paradise?
My decadence catches a monkey eye

Sweeping winds as warm as a sauna
Did I just see a rainbow iguana?
And this TV set bolted to the tree
Harmony.

Who ever heard of this place?
They call it the lungs of the Earth
I am inspired! I leap like a cat!
When I'm not doing acrobats.

Swimming down the river
A swarm of fish, what a massage!
They swirl and flow
At the riverbank, I feel aglow

Never mind the hustle and bustle of the big city
I have frogs and parrots!
The Amazonian TV, a transmission of life!
Anytime the city gets too much, I will return to the Amazon!

The Amazonian Government unites love and goodwill
With fortitude and thrills!
I am like an astronaut, sampling vital organics
Should I call the TV "rainbow electronics"?
