Feeling like the blues have come my way
The pressure in my head is here to stay
The race with all the rats who chase the greed
The more you stay you know you'll never leaveThe city never sleeps cause it has no time
The beauty and the beast now share the crime
I need a place to go where the air is sweet
An island on the sea in the PhilippinesGive me some sunshine
Give me those palm trees
Expand my horizons
On Paradise IslandLa la la la la la
La la la la la laLosing reality can set you free
Riding the waves of the deep blue seaThe roads are made of dirt, houses of stone
No TV or A/C, no fridge or phone
Everywhere you look all shades of green
The tallest building is a coconut treeThe children sing and play even in the rain
Everywhere you go we're all the same
The basic elements of the human mind
Peace, joy and love stand the test of timeGive me some sunshine
Give me those palm trees
Tropical Diamond
Paradise IslandLa la la la la la
La la la la la laLosing reality can set you free while
You're riding the rhythms of the deep blue seaAnd so I leave today a different man
With vivid images of a precious land
And now I think I know what life really means
I say Salamat Po to the PhilippinesGive me some sunshine
Give me those palm trees
Expand my horizons
On Paradise IslandLa la la la la la
La la la la la laLosing reality can set you free while
you're riding the waves of the deep blue seaLa la la la la la
