The land of the rising sun
Has come to see the day
The sun is overhead
But how long will this sun stay

The sun rose over the horizon
And the land ate up its rays
It ate too much too fast
And it took on western ways

It's burning bright above
But it's burning up all the land
And the sun will set in time
And rise on a vast new land

The sun is setting on the West
The sun is rising on the East

It's burning bright above
But it's burning up all the land
And the sun will set in time
And rise on a vast new land

The sun is setting on the West
The sun is rising on the East

The sun is setting on the West
The sun is rising on the East

The sun is setting on the West
The sun is rising on the East

The sun is setting on the West
The sun is rising on the East
