England , United Kingdom

Away , away I might well be
From the country I was born~
But ever so amazed am I
From rising of a morning to night time yawn~
Such history and neatness
Oldest century remains and modern too~
Every day come what may
I am entertained by it all it's true~
I mostly find within my mind
The welcoming fact seems to me~
That here in this wonderful land
It's much like when I first came to be~
Theres still values and integrity
Common sense it still remains~
I see a rather proud society
Hardly any papers and litter at all in the drains~
Today I first met the english Bobbies
The might I say the nicest folk that be~
That only work for a wage
Saving all from themselves and stupidity~
They take their lives in their hands
So often this thought escapes a mind~
And still every day just for a pay
They serve all as one best they can you'll find~
All people I meet upon the street
Only too happy if they have time~
To stop and say hello and how are you
Talk a little or some of yesterdays wine~
It's so much to me like going back
To a time I once could understand~
When people had time for one another
And sincerelly knew the meaning of the shake of a hand~
I've made here a few honest and real true friends
Those that will be till my dying day~
And so much so I sincerelly know
My being here was well worth traveling all this way~
I've never seen such gardens
And I was born in a garden nursery~
Blooms here I've never set my eyes upon
It's all magnificance to me~
And then I come to remember
That my own home land far away~
Was given it's birth and all it's worth
From the Untied Kingdom and England upon the day~
I have to say in all sincerity
It's very much like being back within a time~
And much like going home to where I come from
When things were as I remember them back when so fine~
They say a soul is never too old to learn
And I can swear on my heart how this is true~
I'm learning things and remembering others
A lot I honestly never knew~
I've been an educated man in life
In areas some might never know~
But I am older and much wiser
And inlove as I've never been so there you go~
I'm healthier than I've been in a long time
And I've never had a sick day yet~
Except for a few accidents along the way
But up again always a good man he will get~
I love every thing about this country
I wish most here could only know~
Just how wonderful it is to be here
And what their homeland has for them it is so~
I've traveled far around so many places
I've traveled far and wide~
And here I see so much sincerity
And a country that still rightfully retains it's pride~
So all within this old and beautiful land
From all of it's boundaries come what may~
Just know that you all have a beautiful home
And it's well worth keeping it just this way ~
