[English]

You and I
Together we reach for the sky
It's not about winning
It's all about playing the game
From the east
From the west
Each of us trying our best
Chasing a dream
Burning too follow the flame
Bang the drum a little louder
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
Sing the song a little longer
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
From near
From far
It's clear wherever you are
This is your moment
Your time to run like the wind
Dream big (dream big)
Aim high (aim high)
Even believe you can fly
Give it your all
Let the games begin
Bang the drum a little louder
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
Jump up a little higher
So the whole world can see
The whole world can see
Sing the song a little longer
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
Bang the drum a little louder
For the whole to hear
The whole world to hear
Bang your drum a little louder
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
Sing the song a little longer
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
Bang your drum a little louder
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
Sing your song a little longer
So the whole world can hear
The whole world can hear
