The world is my oyster, I know that is true
Everything in my dreams I am going to do
Fly free like the birds in the sky
Watch me go hand gliding by
Sink to the depths like galleons of old
Diving deep searching for gold
Live with a tribe deep in the Amazon belt
Living off the land and trading pelt
Go through the jungle in Borneo
Observing Orang-utans living life so slow
Walk on Table Top Mountain is for me
Getting back down in time for tea
Wander around the Australian outback
Doing a real walkabout with back-pack
In other words, go get a new life
Away from the rat race, noise and strife
Go to the places full of these themes
Opening up that oyster, so full of my dreams
