I have never been to my homeland far away
But I intend to visit hopefully someday.
A land rich in a history of kings, castles, and kaisers,
An island of mist and Dicken's Miser,
A land of brave men from Northernmost reaches
Who discovered the New World as history teaches.
I have never been to my homeland far away,
But I intend to visit hopefully someday.
A land of rich culture, pyramids, and the Nile,
And Kilimanjaro, and an oasis so fertile.
A land of steamy jungles and hot desert sands,
Elephants, lions, and Gold Kugerands.
I have never been to my homeland far away,
But I intend to visit hopefully someday.
A land on the horizon, far to the East,
Of rice wine and fish and sumo wrestlers obese.
A land of spices and bamboo, an uncountable score,
Great philosophers and mystic lore.
I have never been to my homeland far away,
But I intend to visit hopefully someday.
A land located down under where menacing crocodiles roam,
A desert paradise which kangaroos and koalas call home.
A land of aborigines who know the outback best,
A people who tamed a frontier more wild than our West.
I have never been to my homeland far away,
But I intend to visit hopefully someday.
An island in the Pacific surrounded by beaches of coral,
Coconut trees, exotic fruit, breathtaking and beautifully floral...
A land where people of all races learn to live and dream
In the land where America's day begins.
