A seedling strains with all its might,
For a life giving glimpse of a window sill’s light,
A bear ventures forth from its wintery cave,
And a blue whale basks on the crest of a wave.

A dog in the street stretches out in delight,
A homeless man is eased from his plight,
In the blink of an eye the bikinis are rife,
And ice cream vans are revved into life.

Naturally drawn to the warmth of the sun,
Life is just better, things are more fun,
Children are happy, less people die,
Nobody cares that the gas costs are high.

Randy young teenagers take to the park,
Smashing down Malibu til way after dark,
The street sweepers laugh as they clean up the mess,
As long as the sun shines, they couldn’t care less.

Some will say it’s the vitamin D,
But for me it’s about being able to see,
Other colours except for grey,
A broadened spectrum, a brighter day.

So whether you’re man or whether you’re beast,
Nothing inspires like that fire to the east,
Then winter rolls in with its fun quenching chill,
So why don’t we all just move to Brazil?
