I WISH I WAS THERE

By the Urban Poet

In a place where I can feel tranquil 

Somewhere that’s out of the ordinary 

Where love and understanding is bountiful

A location that’s scenic, extraordinary

I wish I was there

 

I need to be where I feel safe and well

In a place or situation that is right you know

Some places spell danger, you never can tell

A place with hope, optimism, ambition and so,

I wish I was there.

 

Maybe the answer is Naples or Rome?

Ibiza, Majorca, Ayia Napa or Gibraltar?

Make the Nordic Fjords or Antalya my home?

Settle down with someone and go to the altar?

I wish I was there

 

In my head it’s a place where fairies preside

Elves and Goblins appearing in dark of night

As I stumble upon their world they just hide

But even so it feels blissfully right

I wish I was there

 

I wonder, is there a place with no evil?

No wars, no starvation, or violence nor drugs?

Just people who want to be calm and peaceful 

A place without sickness, diseases or bugs

Is it wrong to crave for this place all day long?

A place where it’s people sing the same song?

I wish I was there!
