Ecuador

A landscape as impressive as the one that Ecuador displays
Wrestles with one's spirit and changes City Dwellers ways
Cotopaxi, Chimborazo how can mortals stand and stare
And not believe their flying like those condors in the air
Serenity I've never felt as good as this for years on end
Despite the sad state of my joints
Ecuadors my friend
The passion and the wisdom that the landscape does evoke
In your rain
in your sunshine
How I need to soak
A landscape as impressive
cascada's from the sky
Glaciars recorded in the blinking on an eye
Gorges stark and wonderful
A people raw and real
Who live amongst those mountains
With tenacity and zeal
