Land of the Sun

There is a land I can see

It's where I long to be

Where the rivers run swiftly

And carry your soul to the farthest star.

There is a land that I know

Where I've lived long ago

Oh! strong comes the voice of the wild-hearted lover

Who is calling to me!

He says there's a land of the sun!

Where all men may come,

Oh! it's not easy to win

It can fade like the spring dew

That runs through your hands.

Come with me tonight!

Now the young moon is bright,

You can feel the earth spinning

Down pathways of starlight that dazzle your sight

There is a land I can see!
