Journey
Kitaro feat. The London Symphony Orchestra Lyrics

Deaf, dumb and blind boy
The boy is unable to perceive the world around him through sight, sound or speech

He's in a quiet vibration land.
The boy exists in a state of serenity and peacefulness

Strange as it seems, his musical dreams
Despite his lack of traditional senses, the boy experiences vivid dreams about music

Ain't quite so bad.
These dreams are not negative or unpleasant

Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be.
The boy is just a child, but already possesses a remarkable level of courage and creativity in his thinking

Loving life and becoming wise
The boy is experiencing the joys of existence and growing in knowledge and understanding

In simplicity.
This development is happening through an appreciation for the straightforward, uncomplicated aspects of life

Sickness will surely take the mind
Illness has the ability to greatly impact and alter one's mental state

Where minds can't usually go.
This illness can take the mind to places that are not typically accessible in a normal state of being

Come on the amazing journey
Join in the incredible voyage that lies ahead

And learn all you should know.
Through this journey, one can gain valuable knowledge and insight

A vague haze of delirium
A uncertain, foggy state of mind

Creeps up on me.
Gradually begins to obscure my thoughts and perceptions

All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
In the midst of this hazy state, a new and unfamiliar figure appears

He's dressed in a silver sparkled
This stranger is adorned in a flashy outfit made of shiny metallic material

Glittering gown
This outfit is reminiscent of a formal dress, and is decorated with sparkling elements

And his golden beard flows
The man has a beard that is long and flowing, and is colored in a bright, shining gold hue

Nearly down to the ground.
This beard extends to a great length beneath him

Nothing to say and nothing to hear
There is no communication happening - neither speech nor hearing

And nothing to see.
There is no visual perception occurring whatsoever

Each sensation makes a note
Despite the lack of traditional sensory input, every feeling creates a musical sound

In my symphony.
These sounds are all part of a larger, cohesive musical piece

His eyes are the eyes that
This stranger's gaze is the epitome of

Transmit all they know.
It conveys all of his knowledge and experiences

Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
These looks are reminiscent of crystal gems, and demonstrate warmth and kindness

That he is your leader
This individual is taking on a role of leadership and guidance

And he is your guide
He is leading the way and showing you the path to take

On the amazing journey
This adventure is truly remarkable and wonderful

Together you'll ride.
The two of you will experience it together as companions
