A couple miles away is the little country school where I go

Pedalling a bicycle along a cinder track and life is slow

The countryside is pretty but I got to face the city and the world

I started drawing pictures and my teachers do the best that they can do

I took examinations. I'm accepted in an art college school

The countryside is pretty but I got to face the city and the world

Commuting every day - I'm a victim of the bustle and the smoke

The city suffocates me and the noise of busy people makes me choke

The countryside is pretty but I got to face the city and the world

Sitting on the bus I feel I'm trapped inside a big machine

I dream about the country and the evening air that smells so clean

The countryside is pretty but I got to face the city and the world
