See China right in front of you
5      -7 -6    6 5   -7     -6
See the canyons broken by cloud
-7 -6  6   -6   -7  -6    6 6  
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
5      -7 -6    6 5   -7     -6
See the bedouin fires at night 
-7 -6  6   -6   -7  -6    6 6  
see the oil feilds at first light
5      -7 -6    6 5   -7     -6
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth after 
-7 -6  6   -6   -7  -6    6 6  
the flood the colours came out
