my california

how I longed for California
and the gold I dreamed I’d find
i risked it all to know my truths
and taste her sweetest wines

when I breathe in California
and I bathe in her warm sea
i close my eyes and visualize
the thrill of what may be

she sings from mount whitney
her heart – the redwood trees
her soul, my friend
just look around
her soul is you and me
my California, my California
for those that dream like me

how I love my California
she’s a land where dreamer’s dream
i will to make a better place
for those that dream like me

i will to make a better place
for those that dream like me
