English Version

 * Staring the stars, feeling the winds every time
 * I cannot stop thinking of you, since you've been gone away from here
 * Shedding the tears, crying out loud for once
 * 'Cause you are such a precious part of me, and there's no one who'll fill my broken heart


 * Oh but now, I have realized the reason why I live in this world
 * Even you have left me here alone
 * I found the way, where I can get hope for the future


 * Baby, I'm gonna see the New World with nothing but the love you gave me
 * Only thing I can do, is to trust the time we shared
 * Baby, I'm gonna go to the New World with nothing but the strength you gave me
 * There's nothing to be afraid of, I know your love will leave me where I should be
 * Even if it is dark and hard times for me, I don't wanna give up my home


 * Having a dream, basking in the sun everyday
 * I'm starting to think that I forgive, though the pain of us still hurts me
 * Making me smile, making me laugh many times
 * Like everything is gentle to me because you are making it so


 * And now I have realized the reason why I live in this world
 * It's not to throw us what they truly mean
 * I will make, sure to build the beautiful days together


 * Baby, I'm gonna see the New World with nothing but the love you gave me
 * Only thing I can do, is to trust the time we shared
 * Baby, I'm gonna go to the New World with nothing but the strength you gave me
 * There's nothing to be afraid of, I know your love will leave me where I should be
 * Even if it is dark and hard times for me, I don't wanna give up my home


 * Pray for all the things in this world
 * Have belief in the power of the love
 * Sing a song of tomorrow
 * Now we are, now before we come to life again
 * I knew they will come to you, for you and me


 * Baby, I'm gonna see the New World with nothing but the love you gave me
 * Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
 * Baby, I'm gonna go to the New World with nothing but the strength you gave me
 * There's nothing to be afraid of, I know your love will leave me where we should be
 * Even if it is dark and hard times for us, I don't wanna give up our home


 * Oooh
 * Ooh yeah
 * Oooooooh
