The time is ripe, the right time has come
It is born, a new life is born
The sky is no longer far away
Life is no longer a burden
Run now, there are no hurdles left
With courage, with courage, oh oho
If you fall, sprout back like a seed
If you rise, rise tall like a mountain
Spread your wings like a storm
With courage, with courage
All your dreams
Are coming true right before our eyes
In the roots of hope
Fresh flowers are blooming
There is victory on the running ground
Just do not stop running
Life is meaningful as long as you keep searching
Just do not stop your search
The time is ripe, it is ripe
The right time has come... yeah...
It is born, it is born
Life itself is born... yeah...
The time is ripe, it is ripe
The right time has come... yeah...
It is born, it is born
Life itself is born... yeah...
Hey...
What urges you to achieve
Is the fire deep inside your chest
Nothing else, my friend
Except for yourself, to conquer you
There is no one in this world, my friend
History
Is not just a story written on paper, my friend
Time itself must write
Your name upon its forehead, my friend
How far your goal truly reaches
No one here really knows
If there is determination in your heart
Age is never a barrier, my friend
When highs and lows make up the path
Fear will never touch you
If confidence is your true treasure
Failures will never chase you down
The time is ripe, it is ripe
The right time has come... yeah...
It is born, it is born
Life itself is born... yeah...
The time is ripe, it is ripe
The right time has come... yeah...
It is born, it is born
Life itself is born... yeah...
The future
Waits for you under a canopy of stars, my friend
Today is in your hands
Live it to the fullest without holding back, my friend
Every single dawn
Keeps wandering, searching for your address
The clouds that bring rain
Will shower blessings right at your doorstep, my friend
If you walk with courage
Every direction becomes a sunrise
For anyone who dares
There are no limits to hold them back
Beat the drum of victory every single day
Your talent carries real pride
Once winning is decided
Why worry about fate?
To conquer every trial
You have the sharp mind
The spinning earth
Lies right beneath your feet
Waiting eagerly
To revolve around you
The time is ripe, it is ripe
The right time has come... yeah...
It is born, it is born
Life itself is born... yeah...
The time is ripe, it is ripe
The right time has come... yeah...
It is born, it is born
Life itself is born... yeah...
