English Lyrics ("New World")

 * Staring the stars, feeling the winds every time
 * I cannot stop thinkin' 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 a way where I can get hope for the future


 * Baby, I'm gonna see the New World
 * With nothin' 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 nothin' but the strength you gave me


 * There's nothing to be afraid of
 * I know your love will lead 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 startin' to think that I'm still here
 * Though the pain of loss still hurts me
 * Makin' me smile, makin' me laugh many times
 * Everything is gentle to me because you are makin' it so


 * And now I have realized
 * The reason why I live in this world
 * It's not to lose one I truly need
 * I will make sure we feel the beautiful days together


 * Baby, I'm gonna see the New World
 * With nothin' 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 nothin' but the strength you gave me


 * There's nothing to be afraid of
 * I know your love will lead 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 of the things in this world
 * And believe in the power of our love
 * Sing a song of tomorrow
 * Now we are not alone; we come to life again
 * A new day will come to you
 * For you and me


 * Baby, I'm gonna see the New World
 * With nothin' 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 nothin' but the strength you gave me


 * There's nothing to be afraid of
 * I know your love will lead me where we should be
 * Even if it is dark and hard times for us
 * I don't wanna give up our home


 * Ooh, ooh-ooh
 * Ohh yeah-yeah-yeah
 * Yeah-oooh-oh-ohh
