One in fifteen billion

When we stand on a mountain high,
A golden glow spreading into the sky,
The sun’s awakening, new day is breaking,
Like the first day, fifteen billion years ago...

Time after time again,
Time after time again,
The spirit’s rising, so awe-inspiring,
And we pray to the goddess of the sun,
A new day has begun...

So I feel when I see the love-light in your eyes,
Nothing left to say, takes my breath away,
We are in a new world, a new world of surprise,
So many times, and each time the darkness clears,
And this time for me, you have to be,
One in fifteen billion, once in fifteen billion years.

Time after time again,
Time after time again,
And this time for me, you have to be,
One in fifteen billion, once in fifteen billion years.
