The Perfect Place To Live
The sun shines its a beautiful bright star,
As i drive my car its along the bitumen tar,
The trees sway and the bushes breathe,
I want to move to the country i want to leave,
I want to have a garden that can fulfill my needs,
I need to buy a block to have a dwelling and some seeds,
To grow my own crops i could have anything to eat,
Oh how i wish i had this life it really would be neat,
Id have an area for my common herbs,
Id keep a section that could be for the birds,
With vegetables and fruit and even some nuts,
Id be content if i was in a house or even a hut,
Id stock a dam so it was full of healthy fish,
Oh man i think about it i dream and i wish,
Id raise my own animals for a constant meat supply,
Id raise my fruits and vegetables and i really would try,
Id keep goats and chickens for plentiful eggs,
Id keep plenty of water so id never see the dregs,
I would have everything i need a life so simple,
The sun would beam down but i would not crimple,
Id do what i could to be self sufficient,
Id do what i could and try to efficient,
Id grow plenty of gum trees for just enough wood,
If only i had the coin if only i could,
This would be so special for my boy to grow up,
Id go out of my way to let him have a pup,
I know it would be hard that i wont make a living,
But for my boy i truely would be delivering,
Id build a special place for him to go and play,
I'd make sure the dwelling was warm so he could stay,
Id cook on the stove it would be from the fire,
If only i could leave this tainted suburban shire,
This life of living would be damn near free,
I could do want i want i could go hug a tree,
Id keep a garden dedicated to medicine,
If i had the opportunity id try eat some venison,
If i had all of this i could always try to barter,
This is how it should be we should try being smarter,
The sun would rise in the east and set in the west,
It could all be reality until i get layed down to rest,
This would be hard work and that is for sure,
But i would grow so much forever and more,
This life would be so fulfilling, some say it is crazy,
But if i wouldnt want to try then i would be so lazy
