lyrics

There when the story began
Always a loner not part of the plan
He was sleeping gently underneath the tree
Saw the whole world as innocence can
The dreamer looked up through the eyes of a man
And said 'all this looks like paradise to me'

Stick a point on the map and I'll settle here
Gather good friends around over the years
Wear an old straw hat
I'll be happy with that

Two hearts are better than one
The man loved a woman she gave him a son
And their garden blossomed well over the years
The boy knew his life would be blessed
He looked to the east then set out to the west
Said 'I'll come back when my yearning's disappeared'

Stick a point on the map and I'll settle here
Gather good friends around over the years
Wear an old straw hat
I'll be happy with that
Stick a point on the map and I'll settle here
Gather good friends around over the years
Find an old tin shack
I'll be happy with that

Cities sprang up where he slept
The people remembered and the promise was kept
Like a burning stone that never fades away
Father to nations of men
The man shut his eyes to start dreaming again
And the earth could hear him whisper where he lay

Stick a point on the map and I'll settle here
Gather good friends around over the years
Wear an old straw hat
I'll be happy with that
Stick a point on the map and I'll settle here
Gather good friends around over the years
Find an old tin shack
I'll be happy with that
