Wings for us
Hey, have sprouted!
Come, let's fly
Together right now!
Brand new
We are born today
Celebrate...
Dance the kuthu (folk beat dance)!
The world is here
Ready to celebrate you
If only you have talent
The whole town will swarm around you like bees
To fly away together
Wings for us
Hey, have sprouted!
Come, let's fly
Together right now!
Brand new
We are born today
Celebrate...
Dance the kuthu, ho ho ho ho ho!
We can dance
We can sing songs
We can run, leap, jump, and dance
We can join together as a team
We can compete with one another
If we strive and dare, we can become someone great!
Through so many kinds of work
Hey, we have so many ways to win
Understanding what that is
The world will open its doors
Every single person
Is unique
Realizing what truly lies within
Once you see it, the world will open on its own!
The world is here
Ready to celebrate you
If only you have talent
The whole town will swarm around you like bees
To fly away together
Hey ey hey ray ray ray
Hey ey hey ray ray ray
Hey ey hey
If you ask questions
And search for answers
You can become your own teacher
If you master the written word
If you excel in music
You can shape and refine who you are
Doing everything like it is brand new
Hey, and doing it in your own special style
If you do that, the path will open up
Right ahead of you
Every single person
Is unique
Realizing what truly lies within
Once you see it, the world will open on its own!
The world is here
Ready to celebrate you
If only you have talent
The whole town will swarm around you like bees
To fly away together
Wings for us
Hey, have sprouted!
Come, let's fly
Together right now!
Brand new
We are born today
Celebrate...
Dance the kuthu, ho ho ho ho ho!
Look, wings have sprouted on us!
Look, wings have sprouted on us!
