1950's public school song lyrics

[sidykat]

I went to school in Los Angeles. I think about 1955 or 1956, I learned a song and I can not remember the title only a few broken phrases. I hope someone can help me.
...."how i wish that i could be, where the fresh sea winds are sighing, where the tides run swift and free, in my homeland where i am going....." another phrase is....south sea islands i have seen, heard the artic glaciers thunder.....all have filled my heart with wonder...."

My memory of about 50 years ago is a little clouded, but I would love to know all the words to teach my grandson who is five.
