Lyrics
Greyscale water turns to cotton candy in the sky,
Greyscale water turns to cotton candy in the sky,
Isabela Island is so beautiful it makes me cry.
Sailing home with you a pretty blue environmental trance,
Sailing home with you a pretty blue environmental trance,
Isabela Island is so beautiful it makes me dance.
Za zen, Za zen, Like an everlasting friend,
Za Zen
An underwater world and a girl painted Panama Green,
An underwater world and a girl painted Panama Green,
Isabela Island is so beatiful it makes me sing,
Za zen, Za zen, Never a beginning or end,
Za Zen
