1.My soul is rooted in this land
2.It shall never decay, it shall never fall3.
4.I live on this hill, on this very hill
5.Across centuries, blown by the winds of time6.
7.Alongside the one-legged torii
8.Bearing witness to the lives of people
9.Their joys, their sorrows
10.Simply watching over them11.
12.My soul cannot be taken
13.Though this body may be broken, though this body may be burned14.
15.The cool breeze, the blasting wind
16.The early summer rains, the black rain
17.I only receive them, I only endure them
18.I only reach for the sky19.
20.My soul is rooted in this land
21.Singing with the rustling of leaves — a cry of life22.
23.My soul is rooted in this land
24.It shall never decay, it shall never fall25.
26.My soul cannot be taken
27.Though this body may be broken, though this body may be burned28.
29.My soul is rooted in this land
30.Singing with the rustling of leaves — a cry of life
