Hai!
|
|
Oh mystical East, on old postcards,
|
Your childhood dreams and energies.
|
Your temples' gardens, old world charm,
|
An ancient culture, torn and scarred.
|
|
This is my Western promise.
|
|
Oh mystical East, you've lost your way,
|
Your rising sun shall rise again.
|
My Western world gives out her hand,
|
A victor's help to your fallen land.
|
|
This is my Western promise.
|
|
Hai!
|
|
Mystical East, all taxi-cabs,
|
All ultra-neon, sign of the times.
|
Your Buddha Zen and Christian man,
|
All minions to messiah Pepsi can.
|
|
This is my Western promise.
