Amelia, Amelia

Crashing into the dunes,
The water of strange lands
Brings word of renewal.
Blowing through the palms,
The winds of another world
Cleanse the soul.
Untouched and unknown,
An island like no other
Awaits exploration.
Across a bridge
And over a horizon
My spirit finds its true home:
An island of sand, water and sun,
Amelia, Amelia.
