Jakarta Dreams [In support of the Roslin Orphanage in West Timor Indonesia]
Jean-Paul Maunick
Jakarta dreams, Jakarta sings
Jakarta shines, and I need her
Jakarta hopes, Jakarta grooves
Jakarta flows, and she moves me
She’s alive both day and night
She brings my spirit into the light
People always on the move
Trying daily to improve
She greets the world with open arms
(Home gotta get… gotta get home)
She’s worn and torn but full of charms
(Om telolet… telolet Om)
Jakarta dreams, Jakarta sings
Jakarta shines, and I need her
Jakarta hopes, Jakarta grooves
Jakarta flows, and she moves me
She’s many things to everyone
And everything to more than one
Those who daily try to cope
Hearts and soul and full of hope
She greets the world with open arms
(Home gotta get… gotta get home)
She’s worn and torn but full of charms
(Om telolet… telolet Om)
