From the waking dream I hope to see, in front of me,
My children Running up with smiling faces.
Fill in my arms The glow of lover's warm embraces.
Don't wake me up until we're headed for Rio.
Fly me away. I've been waiting all these years.
Then I'll say I just want to stay here.
A memory of toothless grin and fresh picked apples
Setting me still; Living it over and over and over and over.
Free, oh so free! Running barefoot through fields of three-leaf clovers,
Dragonflies buzzing! Find the lucky one that takes us to Rio.
I've never stayed in any place for very long.
I just need to find someone to take me.
