lyrics

California, open up! Won't you let me see,
stand atop a golden hill to find:
what stills lies ahead of me
and what exactly do I leave behind.

The temperature is dropping and I smell the ocean breeze
that makes the many wildflowers sway;
the Ocean brings us to our knees,
so we bow and worship for the day!

She said she could stay with me if everything was right,
if just the right conditions could prevail;
if different stars could fill the night,
or a different wind could fill our sails.

California, lift me up! Raise me from the ground,
stand atop a golden hill to see:
once I take a look around,
I'll see all of life surrounding me!
