Our dreams
Will come true, do not lose heart.
Your talents
Will take the stage, do not worry.
Trials are like mist before the sun,
They will surely fade away.
Achievements are like flowers,
That will bloom even on a rock.
There is no night that never dawns,
There is no task that is impossible.
Our dreams
Will come true, do not lose heart.
Your talents
Will take the stage, do not worry.
Why feel sad when you fall?
It is only practice to rise again.
What are failures after all?
They are the stamp of success.
If you walk believing in yourself,
If you walk believing in yourself,
You can conquer the whole world.
There is no need to be overwhelmed,
You can cross even a mountain.
You can cross even a mountain.
Our dreams
Will come true, do not lose heart.
Your talents
Will take the stage, do not worry.
Just spread your wings,
And the sky will be yours.
If you only have a goal,
Victories will come pouring in.
If you stay focused on your work,
If you stay focused on your work,
You can conquer time itself.
There is no need to worry,
You can cross even the ocean.
You can cross even the ocean.
Our dreams
Will come true, do not lose heart.
Your talents
Will take the stage, do not worry.
Trials are like mist before the sun,
They will surely fade away.
Achievements are like flowers,
That will bloom even on a rock.
There is no night that never dawns,
There is no task that is impossible.
Our dreams
Will come true, do not lose heart.
Your talents
Will take the stage, do not worry.
