Every time
You tell me
We rise up
Stand tall
Break free
Every struggle
And the hustle
And the puddle
And the hurdle
Come across
Don’t even
Stumble me
In every fight
We win
Got no fear no fall
Now we shine
Every war
And the scars
And the trail
And the strom
Now we conquer all
Destined to grin
In every clash
We rise
No bounds no limits
We soar high
Every setback
Jet lag
Chitchat
Even in
And the pain
We roar high
Every game
We spin
To face challenge
We raced in
We break through
And never dim
We make sure
We clear every sin
When you’re down
I’ll be your only
Golden guiding light
When you’re lost
I’ll be your only
Beacon by your side
Oh seconds, fleeting seconds...
Will brand new answers be found?
Oh moments, precious drops of time,
will brand new pathways open up?
The hands of the clock will always
keep running without ever turning back.
Along with memories, the present moment
burns like fire and withers away.
Everything, in a short while,
will simply pass on by.
Even if the heart inside is broken,
it will still live for you.
A cloud that forever covers
the vast sky
does not exist in this world...
There is no wound
that the future cannot
come and heal...
Do not break down before that happens...
When you're down,
I'll be your only
golden guiding light.
When you're lost,
I'll be your only
beacon by your side.
When you're down,
I'll be your only
golden guiding light.
When you're lost,
I'll be your only
beacon by your side.
Even if you tell it to leave...
oh time will not just pass away.
Even if you tell it to return,
oh the moment that has passed
will never come back again.
A battlefield never smells of flowers,
keep walking, do not be deceived.
The search will not end in just a day,
keep searching, you must never stand still.
When you're down,
I'll be your only
golden guiding light.
When you're lost,
I'll be your only
beacon by your side.
When you're down,
I'll be your only
golden guiding light.
When you're lost,
I'll be your only
beacon by your side.
Oh seconds, fleeting seconds...
Will brand new answers be found?
Oh moments, precious drops of time,
will brand new pathways open up?
Every time
you tell me,
we rise up,
stand tall,
break free.
Every struggle
and the hustle,
and the puddle,
and the hurdle
we come across
don't even
stumble me.
In every fight
we win,
got no fear, no fall,
now we shine.
Every war
and the scars,
and the trail,
and the storm,
now we conquer all,
destined to grin.
In every clash
we rise,
no bounds, no limits,
we soar high.
Every setback,
jet lag,
chit-chat,
even in,
and the pain,
we roar high.
Every game
we spin,
to face challenges
we raced in,
we break through
and never dim,
we make sure
we clear every sin.
When you're down,
I'll be your only
golden guiding light.
When you're lost,
I'll be your only
beacon by your side.
