From the land of stars and stripes he came
Seeking refuge from life's cruel game
In the heart of Costa Rica where dreams take flight
He sought a haven from the world's harsh light

Oh the poor American lost in a foreign place
Renting in neighborhoods devoid of grace
Where the streets are worn and the paint peels away
Paradise fades in the light of day
Amidst gentrification's relentless pace
He finds solace in a humble space

With pockets empty and hopes forlorn
He settles in a place where dreams are torn
In the shadows of wealth he finds his abode
But paradise eludes on this rough road

Oh the poor American lost in a foreign place
Renting in neighborhoods devoid of grace
Where the streets are worn and the paint peels away
Paradise fades in the light of day
Amidst gentrification's relentless pace
He finds solace in a humble space

Amongst the struggles he fights to thrive
In a world where survival is the only drive
Yet amidst the chaos he finds a spark
In the beating heart of a neighborhood dark

Oh the poor American lost in a foreign place
Renting in neighborhoods devoid of grace
Where the streets are worn and the paint peels away
Paradise fades in the light of day
Amidst gentrification's relentless pace
He finds solace in a humble space

Though far from the paradise he sought
In the midst of hardship he found his lot
For in the resilience of a community's embrace
He discovered a different kind of grace
