The Promise-Enya

[00:20.92]Now here I stand
[00:24.93]Oh, in the morning sunshine,
[00:30.44]Dreaming only of the promised land.

[00:36.96]Somewhere, they say, beyond the great horizon,
[00:46.50]Lies a beautiful island.
[00:53.47]Everyone says he longs at heart for Shangri-La,
[01:02.25]But that it's a nowhere-land, after all.
[01:09.31]How I wonder why no one tries to sail out,
[01:18.31]Looking for a strange paradise.

[01:25.69]In my dreams, I've seen people there,
[01:33.31]Exchanging words of love and care.
[01:41.57]In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
[01:48.92]And they're singing all day long beside the streams.

[01:57.14]One day, someday,
[02:01.18]You'll surely find me sailing away
[02:06.50]For the white beach of the promised land.

[02:45.39]Now here we stand
[02:49.31]Oh, in the burning sunset,
[02:54.67]Talking only of the promised land.
[03:00.99]I'm glad to know now I am not the only one
[03:10.58]I've got nice friends who share dreams with me.

[03:17.59]We are so young; we've got some magic powers.
[03:26.99]We are nourishing like flowers.
[03:33.34]Oh, let us wait until the day comes when we will all
[03:42.62]Sail across the deeper blue sea.

[03:49.91]In our dreams, we've seen people there,
[03:57.37]Exchanging words of love and care.
[04:05.31]In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
[04:12.92]And they're singing all day long beside the streams.

[04:21.28]One day, someday,
[04:25.27]You'll surely find us sailing away
[04:30.72]For the white beach of the promised land.
