Lyric

An ancient compass points toward the Far East

Across the dawn, beyond the ocean blue

A green island hidden from the old maps

Where the first golden sunlight breaks through

Through the mist, the sacred white peak stands so high

A maiko's silhouette softly passing by

Walking these streets where a thousand years remain

I pray to the rising sun in Zipangu's sky

Let the golden light wash my weary soul clean

The wind whispers, "Open your eyes and see"

Across the sea, this is where I'm meant to be

Bamboo forests sway and speak an ancient tongue

Golden shrines where old secrets still remain

They called this place a fairy tale, a beautiful dream

But the morning air tells me it's real again

Changing colors glow with an eternal grace

Spring cherry blossoms, autumn's fiery face

I can't go back, my heart has found its home

No longer lost, no longer bound to roam

I pray to the rising sun in Zipangu's sky

Let the golden light wash my weary soul clean

The wind whispers, "Open your eyes and see"

Across the sea, this is where I'm meant to be

Through thousands of nights, the light has survived

The miracle of four seasons comes alive

The answer I was searching for

Is dancing right before my eyes

I pray to the rising sun in Zipangu's sky

Let the golden light wash my weary soul clean

The wind is shouting, "This is your destiny!"

Across the sea, I've finally found my peace

Zipangu

Rising sun

Zipangu
