Somewhere in the land there's a child at play He's believing, dreaming, spirit of the nation Rising from the sun, there's a mountain high With the power and the glory From the heart of the country Heroes all-blazing into battle Hear the call-bringing it home is all that really matters Flying through the sky on the wings of golden angels Shooting for the stars the night comes alive Take me to the place with the eyes of the world upon us Waking up the fire and saving the day Standing on the sacred ground Oh Japan, our time is now Something's got to give I'm lightning in a bottle Between the action and passion I won't be stuck in the middle Climbing from the clouds With the torch held high Feel the power and the glory From the heart of the country Heroes all-light the rings of freedom Hear the call-giving us all a voice and a reason Flying through the sky on the wings of golden angels Shooting for the stars the night comes alive Take me to the place with the eyes of the world upon us Waking up the fire and saving the day Standing on the sacred ground Oh Japan, our time is now Heroes all-light the rings of freedom Hear the call-giving us all a voice and a reason Flying through the sky on the wings of golden angels Shooting for the stars the night comes alive Take me to the place with the eyes of the world upon us Waking up the fire and saving the day Standing on the sacred ground Oh Japan, our time is now Somewhere in the land there's a child at play He's believing, dreaming, spirit of the nation
