A wreath of palm leaves in the dawn
Morning light so gently drawn
Ocean breeze so fresh and sweet
Sunshine's tender brightened heat
Listen to the palms' soft sway
Climb the hills along the way
Talk beneath the ocean's roar
Of our dreams and so much more
California
Palms and ocean oh yeah!
For me it's freedom
For others just a dream to share
California
Sunny land so fair
For me it's freedom
For others just a dream to share
How many sunsets will I see
By the shore so wild and free
Of my love I'll gladly tell
In Hollywood a film to make will
Fresh breeze from the ocean's side
In the palm leaves' shade we hide
In the clear sky sun so bright
Shining warm with all its might
California
Palms and ocean oh yeah!
For me it's freedom
For others just a dream to share
California
Sunny land so fair
For me it's freedom
For others just a dream to share
People here are kind and bright
Tolerant and full of light
In this land all dreams take flight
Bathed in love both day and night
California
Palms and ocean oh yeah!
For me it's freedom
For others just a dream to share
California
Sunny land so fair
For me it's freedom
For others just a dream to share
