[Intro]
Hai

[Verse 1]
Oh, mystical East, on old postcards
Your childhood dreams and energies
Your temples' gardens, old world charm
An ancient culture, torn and scarred

[Refrain]
This is my western promise

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
This is my western promise

[Bridge]
Hai

[Verse 3]
Mystical East, all taxi-cabs
All ultra-neon, sign of the times
Your Buddha Zen and Christian man
All minions to messiah Pepsi can
[Refrain]
This is my western promise
