I rode my bike to town today
Wobbling down the path
I knew the kids would see me
I love it when they laugh
And I wish I were a camera
And I could slice time like a knife
Seeing stories in the faces
And crystallizing life
Wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme
I'd be a lens that could see souls
A shutter that never shuts
I'd have film that lasts forever
And I would live in huts
In the jungles of South America
Like my father before the war
I'd find out where we came from
And what this life is for
And I wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme
And I wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme
I would climb right off this planet
On the clearest night of all
And photograph the future
When it finally comes to call
I would save up all these images
These instants in a box
And when I am old and lonely
They could cover up the clocks
And I wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme
I wish that I could shoot at night
And leave without a trace
And catch my lover's sleeping smile
By the starlight on her face
But I think mostly that l'd see children
'Cause they haven't learned to hide
And they watch me on my bicycle
And laugh with me as I ride

Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN) are a folk rock supergroup formed by David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash. The group is known for its intricate vocal harmonies, often tumultuous interpersonal relationships, political activism, and lasting influence on music and culture. In 1968, with the addition of Neil Young, the group transformed into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY). Among their most representative songs: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Ohio", "Teach Your Children" and "Wooden Ships". In 2010, Graham Nash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Hollies. All four members of CSNY have therefore been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
