==== Lyrics ====
:Now here I stand
:Oh, in the morning sunshine,
:Dreaming only of the promised land.
:Somewhere, they say, beyond the great horizon,
:Lies a beautiful island.
:Everyone says he longs at heart for Shangri-La,
:But that it's a nowhere-land, after all.
:How I wonder why no one tries to sail out,
:Looking for a strange paradise.
:In my dreams, I've seen people there,
:Exchanging words of love and care.
:In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
:And they're singing all day long beside the streams.
:One day, someday,
:You'll surely find me sailing away
:For the white beach of the promised land.
:Now here we stand
:Oh, in the burning sunset,
:Talking only of the promised land.
:I'm glad to know now I am not the only one--
:I've got nice friends who share dreams with me.
:We are so young; we've got some magic powers.
:We are nourishing like flowers.
:Oh, let us wait until the day comes when we will all
:Sail across the deeper blue sea.
:In our dreams, we've seen people there,
:Exchanging words of love and care.
:In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
:And they're singing all day long beside the streams.
:One day, someday,
:You'll surely find us sailing away
:For the white beach of the promised land.
