I walk down the beach staring at the sea
Every time I come here; I think of a younger me
My hair so dark and eyes so green
My mum making sure I’m wearing sunscreen
The sea is so clear and the sky so bright
Sometimes the stingrays give me a fright
Surrounded by bushland and all the tall trees
My hairs standing up, from the cool breeze
I gaze blankly at the horizon, starting at the sunset
The sky so orange, the sea so wet
The birds are singing, squark, squark, squark
I must get home before it turns dark
I make my way home, strolling so slow
The sensational, striking, sun giving me a natural glow
I will forever love this place, this is my home
Forever and ever, here on my own.
