Living in Switzerland

From the outside, they see all the shine,
Chocolate, watches, brands so fine.
Pharma, banks, and mountains so high,
They see the symbols, but not what's inside.

Yet what makes Switzerland truly alive,
Are the simple things, day and night.
Quality of life in the smallest of ways,
Quiet moments that brighten our days.

I live in Switzerland, but forget sometimes,
How few in the world feel so free in their minds.
Gratitude rarely comes out loud,
For the things that we take for granted and proud.

I drink from fountains, pure and clear,
Water so fresh, so close, so near.
Windows open, clean air in the breeze,
In summer I swim in lakes that are clean.

A promise here counts, a word will hold,
With people who stand by what they told.
Friends who are honest, loyal, and kind,
A trust that's real, and gives me peace of mind.

I live in Switzerland, but forget sometimes,
How few in the world feel so free in their minds.
Gratitude rarely comes out loud,
For the things that we take for granted and proud.

In humble pride, let's take a stand,
See the quiet gifts of our land.
What feels like normal, silent and small,
Is a rare kind of wealth that unites us all.

I live in Switzerland, but forget sometimes,
How few in the world feel so free in their minds.
Gratitude rarely comes out loud,
For the things that we take for granted and proud.

Open your eyes and just look around,
In each little moment, life's treasures are found.
We have so much that the world only dreams,
In this quiet wealth, life truly gleams.
