My First Time Overseas
Walking off that plane
 Hearing different languages
 Not knowing about this place
 Called Amsterdam
 
 Sitting on that train
 Watching the scenery pass me by
 Wondering what it was like
 During World War II
 
 Walking down that street
 Sitting by the canal
 Looking around the corner
 To see the Anne Frank Huis
 
 Walking in that room
 Seeing those black curtains
 Thinking about Anne Frank
 And those pictures on that wall
 
 Seeing that picture
 Made me cry
 Thinking about being left alone
 Like Otto Frank was
 
 Looking out that window
 Trying to imagine what Anne 
 Saw out that same window
 Until she was gone
 
 Leaving that huis
 Seeing the line
 Wishing that they will
 Love that house, too
 
 Back on that train
 Scenery leaving me
 Saying goodbye
 To dear Amsterdam
 
 Back on that plane
 Leaving for Hungary
 Saying goodbye 
 To those windmills in the sea
 
 Still on that plane
 Leaving that place
 Where I first traveled
 Over the seas.
