Life is a cycle
Life is a circle,
Where the start and the end are one.
Riding together as one,
Let us reach the finish line today...
The summit is far away,
Let us take the first step...
The fruits are far away,
Let us sow our dreams...
Hey hey, the battles are not outside,
They are inside you, inside you, deep within you...
Your enemies too are
Inside you, inside you, deep within you.
In the wheel of time,
You are a part, and you are the rider.
You are the path ahead,
You are the raging speed...
If you turn your drops of sweat
Into fuel to power your run,
You will become the true address of victory!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
...
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
The fire igniting in your eyes—
Channel it through all your eight hundred muscles...
Chorus: Life is high and low,
How far will you go?
Wanna fly, wanna soar,
You step out, let the fat go!
All the fierce drive in your heart,
Pump it straight into both your legs!
Step out your worries,
And sweat out your...
You've still got more to do,
You can be a lot more!
Your hurdles are only inside you...
Break through them all,
Burn bright like a flame...
If you turn your drops of sweat
Into fuel to power your run,
You will become the true address of victory!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
Cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle, cy-y-cycle,
Life is a cycle!
