************************************************** LYRICS: Let me take you the faraway places Where you've never been to the orient land Soon you will notice the mountains and forests We're flying over them now Don't you be afraid Just take my hand As we race with four winds Welcome to the land of mystery Welcome to the land of secrets This is no ancient history We are flying over the gates of Babylon Allah is speaking us all with his mighty voice Bowing to his power as we go down The magic carpet ride is not a dream to us It's really happening now Welcome to the land of mystery Welcome to the land of secrets This is no ancient history We are flying over the gates of Babylon Welcome to the land of mystery Welcome to the land of secrets This is no ancient history This is no dream at all Welcome to the land of mystery Welcome to the land of secrets This is no ancient history **************************************************
