Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
[Verse 2]
And now open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
[Verse 3]
A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
So let it be
[Verse 4]
Xanadu
Xanadu
(now we are here) In Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
(Now we are here) In Xanadu
Xanadu your neon lights will shine
In Xanadu
[Verse 5]
The love of echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
[Verse 6]
The dream that came through a million years
That lived through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
[Verse 7]
A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
So let it be
[Verse 8]
Xanadu
Xanadu
(Now we are here) In Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
In Xanadu
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu
