had to travel to a far away land,
to see things clear and understand.
the crass wasn't any greener in a far away land,
it just doesn't grow on dry dirt and sand.
the people weren't happier thatn back home,
not even the ones with houses made of gold.
the poorest ones seemed happier than the richest,
misery can live in mansions; just like like it lives under the bridges.
when everything's not given on a golden plate,
you learn to respect and appreciate.
the things so obvious to me and you,
that one apple can be that child's whole day's food...
