Will I fall? Will I give up?
Will I live?
Will I live?
Where is the dream?
Questions line every path.
Will I live?
Will I live?
Am I the sea, gazing at the sky?
Will I dissolve away in yearning?
I live like a wave,
I will rise again.
I live like a dream,
One day I will win.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow—in all three,
I hold myself up and always stand strong.
Even when the world turns against me,
I comfort myself and keep walking on.
Searching for my path,
Chasing after the dream,
I walk every single day,
All alone, completely alone.
Through every direction that brings fresh wounds,
Across the forests and mountains my feet cross,
I live like a wave,
I will rise again.
I live like a dream,
One day I will win.
