Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that we're all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey; I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake
