I’ve watched the sun rise in Angkor Wat
The beauty in Santorini will not be forgot
Mount Bromo was a sight worthy to behold
Cape Town did shine so bright and so bold
I witnessed the sun as it set on the Grand Canyon walls
The moonlight dancing on the Sutherland Falls
I’ve cried at the feet of the Redeemer so grand
I’ve seen so much beauty in many a land
Nothing compares to what I’ve seen with my heart
A sight so amazing it just tore me apart
It all pales in comparison so right and so true
The beauty that I see every time I’m holding you

Hi tiddley hi ti I'm all right
I needed a mai tai, keeps me tight
I'm a waking winky -- got a belly ache
I think a Bromo-Seltzer is what I'll take.
Heading home from Susie's Diner,
Everyone says there's no finer.
All think Susie's sizzlin' dinners
Really rate as wondrous winners.
There we had the chili cheese fries,
Butterfinger shakes, and fried pies--
Utter Heaven then, but--UH OH!
Rumbling gases threaten--OH, NO!
Now let's fix a great big bromo!

Night even more freezing
It defeats me in my yellow hoody
No stars tonight
It's only me and a bunch of French fries
Low lights in shimmer
I'm sitting next to the window
At the cafe with a glass of Bintang beer in company
Waiting for the sunrise
On the height of thousands feet from my city
I released all my mind density
As if the clouds took them away
Vanish along with the fog of those mountains
I wish I could stay
But the sunrise won't wait
And the day will force in
My time is only at dawn when the sun is waking up the day
Then I will gone

In my little moment at a small cafe in Mount Bromo
