[English]

We'll be passing by

And they'll be wasting time

Just waiting for new

And while they're chasing dogs

We'll be dancing in the dusk

'Cause a way coming through

Whenever you need me I'm behind

...

I promise to take you off to the height

Hmmmm

...

Woo-hoo, woo-hoo

We feel the burning up

And you're wasting all your luck

I'll be here for you, here for you

When the dark is at his bone

And you run away from hope

I'll be here for you, here for you

I'm here for you

I'm here for you, you, you

I'm here for you, yeah, you, you

...

And while they're on the ground

We'll be looking down

'Cause we found the truth

And the fire in our hearts

Will be blowing up the stars

Now we're coming through, yeah

Whenever you're feeling doubt inside

...

I promise to take you off to the height

...

Oh yeah, I'm here for you, noooo

And when you feel you've had enough

And you've wasted all your love

I'll be here for you

I'm here for you

I'm here for you, you, you

I'm here for you

Yeah, I'm here for you, you, you

...
