If What (read from right to left)

 

Japan in ourselves found we
right is left and left is right where
hand a not and bow a with meet
sun rising the of land the
delights and light such
fun be that wouldn't

oro

way nature's that isn't
east the in rising sun the
west the in setting and
west wild wild the
west free wild the
way tradition's our that isn't
west sailing out setting Columbus
west moving rumbling trains wagon

oro

west to east from read we don't why then
best is what of promise the
free and wild
breeze the feel
east meets west where
west meets east and

oro

peace the find we'll then maybe
seek all we that

oro
