I took a ride to the island of sunshine
To the place where all the people weren't to let me go
They say stay, don't you leave us now you will find the happiness you look for
Everybody says stay, don't you leave us now, cool down and be on your own yeah
I took a flight to the isle that feels like paradise
To the place where all the people weren't to let me go
They say stay, don't you leave us now you will find the happiness you look for
Everybody says stay, don't you leave us now, cool down and be on your own yeah
Stay, don't you leave us now you will find the happiness you look for
Everybody says stay, don't you leave us now, cool down and be on your own yeah
And I set my goal to reach my destination
I invest my whole time in deep meditation
Yes, I fight for it every night, look outside, the sun shines bright
There's no way for hesitation
Yeah I'm on my way for a long duration
Working daylong to go on this journey
I never mind if I am stupid or horny
Yeah man be wise to take my advice
Overthink it and don't mistake it twice
My recommendation for your duration
Was to stay and feel the vibration of our nation
Don't hurry, don't worry, don't feel sorry, drop the lorry
It's a struggle, you can win the fight
Man, it doesn't matter if you're wrong or right
They say stay, don't you leave us now you will find the happiness you look for
Everybody says stay, don't you leave us now, cool down and be on your own yeah
