Lyrics by: Katsuhiko Kinoshita
Performed by: Risa Ohki

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 Shangrila
but that it’s a nowhere - land after all.
How I wonder
why no one tries to sail out
looking for a strange paradise !

ln my (our) dreams
I’ve (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 me (us)
sailing away for the white beach
of the promised land.

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.

ln my (our) dreams
I’ve (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 me (us)
sailing away for the white beach
of the promised land.

今天突然想起了這首歌，所以貼出來~
第一次接觸這首歌是聽Orchestral版，
那是Final Fantasy X的 Overworld Theme。
整首歌充滿了提琴悲壯哀怨激昂的調子，
十分喜歡~~
有次看見FF的音樂集，因為覺得很多音樂都不錯的，
所以買了回家~
聽到一半時，突到這首歌的真人演譯，很興奮！
真是太好了~~

自己很在意樂曲的調子，
只要我喜歡那個旋律，以什麼形式演奏我也會喜歡…
所以有些樂曲被我收藏了五十多個版本(?)！XD
