Afer Ventus

So the world goes round and round

With all you ever knew

They say the sky high above

Is Caribbean blue?

If every man says all he can

If every man is true

Do I believe the sky above

Is Caribbean blue?

If all you told was turned to gold

If all you dreamed was new

Imagine sky high above

In Caribbean blue

Eurus

Afer Ventus
