Englisch[]
- Time, no more once upon a time
- Take flight. Find your wings and spread them wide
- It's time for the journey of our lives
- From the ashes we're reborn
- Unto the heavens we ride
- Fighting through the storm
- Leaving our shadows far behind
- Having walked right to the end
- With one more trial we are faced
- Turn back, transcend
- Only we decide our fates
- Where do we go?
- Where do we go?
- Where do we go?
- Where do we go?
- No more runnin'
- Tight! Seize the day and hold on tight
- The sun is risin'
- Life, take it slow and take a bite
- One day at a time
- (Unwind your heart and find your worries'll disappear)
- (Here ev'ry trail is paved with hope)
- (Tonight the stars align, our fortunes, are crystal clear)
- Tonight the stars are crystal clear, they are.
- (Now turn the page to tales untold)
- All tomorrow's twists and turns—tales to see unfold with each step we take
- Just imagine what's around the bend (maybe)
- (Magic or mischief? Gods forfend!)
- Endless marvels, myst'ries, newfound friends
- (Wilder than wildest dreams portend)
- Tender hearts or sorrow's skies to mend (oh oh)
- (Fill them with golden tones instead)
- Steady forward, there's so much to see (for you and me)
- (Together you and me)
- Discover anew, the rainbow in you
- And color the night in laughter and li-ight
- The path that we take is ours to create
- Oh, running in stride, we can find our way
- Yeah we can. Let's go!
- On this trail but we can't see the end
- (Until we close our eyes so)
- Tight! Seize the day and hold on tight
- The sun is risin'
- Life, take it slow and take a bite
- One day at a time
- Our time to shine
- Join in the salt wind's choir as we wander with the tide
- Come enjoy the ride
- Hold your head up high
- High, on the dawn we set our sights
- A new horizon
- Fly, ever forward, starry-eyed
- To an open sky
