Awesome is the sight



Awesome is the sight
Night falls like a curtain in Paradise
Night creatures are clubhouse bound

Panama Canal operations on going
World Commerce locking through
Awesome is the sight

Time passes slowly as a kid
Night and day ships on the move
Lets go fly a kite
Awesome is the sight

Kid you going to work
Naw works for mules fishing my game
Let La Bruja lures rule
Awesome is the sight

Long flashing legs
Shimmering beacons
Lost is found again
Awesome is the sight
