Living in a world apart Right from the very start That’s how it all begun Playing carefree in the Sun A playground that had no boundaries Just the sparkling sea Foaming on the shore Who could ask for more
Living life out of doors Governed by no foreign laws No reason at all we should depart Leave our little world apart
And then ... They said we should aspire to be …. To become A part of a modern society Living in a big city Milling crowds of humanity All smothering me Day after day
Living down by the sea This is how it’s supposed to be Nature provides it all Gardens and the coconuts tall The fishing good and the water full of delicacy
So why .... Take it all away from me My heritage And my family legacy And what use would it be I have no need, can’t you see When those simple things are free And I am free
(Instrumental interlude)
I’m going back
No suit and hat
No more office rack
No chimney stack
So there will never be A concrete jungle there for me No never, not for me Not while I’m free.
