Promised Land

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

The End
