it's my last night on earth
and i have on last request
to give me a night
i will remember forever
i want to go to Paris
i have to visit Rome
get me overseas
i'll take on the endeavor
let me travel the world
before i must leave it
let me see the earth
in a whole new way
let me travel to Europe
and a rain-forest far away
fly me to Australia
on my very last day
i want to have experienced
the planet on which i have lived
and although i now die
let me remember each part
let me see every mountain
each jungle and each plain
let me journey through Africa
right before we must part
Author notes
I wish I could go there now!
