It's been a while since I've worked on something to do with IIDX, but secretly I'm happy that I got to work on another Earth cover after that time with [[Brazilian Rhyme]] in [[AC 2nd style|2ndStyle]].

Lyrics

Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream,
Bringing life to our kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship Fantasy
All your dreams will come true, miles away

Our voices will ring together until the twelfth of never,
We all, will live now forever, as one

Come to see, victory in a land called fantasy,
Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul in ecstasy
You will find, other kind, that has been in search of you,
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize it's your life, now in review
And as you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
Give a smile, from your lips, and say
I am free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way

You will find, other kind, that has been in search of you,
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize it's your life, now in review
