Pulse
Yoko Kanno & the Israel Philharmonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On your shore
I swear

Created from inside me
More than love I trust
Wash away your pains waves of love

Whichever words you speak of yourself
Which came from a song of a god?
We are the children of the same rhythm

To know you to know a part of you
The smallest unit in the world
Knew we would meet a thousand years ago

It was in our genes




We are the children of the same rhythm
We were together for a thousand years
