[English]

-- Bright As The Sun (Terang Seperti matahari) -

Look up and lift your heart

And fight for who you are

Put all your energy,

Let them see your identity

It’s time to rise and shine

Embrace defeat and grind

Just one step closer to victory

Ain’t giving up to give the best of me

It doesn’t matter who says

You can’t chase your dreams

Everything can be done

Cause it’s up to you

Raise your flag and unite

Let’s make history

Make dreams reality

Show the world

You are as bright as the sun

We deserve to be the one

And fight your fears, come on

Don't waste your time

Raise the energy, you'll shine

And give your best

Let god do the rest

It’s time to rise and shine

Embrace defeat and grind

Just one step closer to victory

Ain’t giving up to give the best of me

It doesn’t matter who says

You can’t chase your dreams

Everything can be done

Cause it’s up to you

Raise your flag and unite

Let’s make history

Make dreams reality

Show the world

You are as bright as the sun

We deserve to be the one

And fight your fears, come on

Don’t waste your time

Raise the energy, you'll shine

And give your best

Let god do the rest

At the end its not about winning

With the heart of a warrior and hope

We will let this world remember our stories

At the end its not about winning

With the heart of a warrior and hope

We will let this world remember our stories

Show the world

You are as bright as the sun

We deserve to be the one (Deserve to be the one)

And fight your fears, come on

Don’t waste your time (Don't waste your time)

Raise the energy, you'll shine

And give your best

Let god do the rest

Let god do the rest

And give your best

And give your best

Let god do the rest

Let god do the rest

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

And give your best

And give your best

Let god do the rest
