[English]

We rise together as our destiny unfolds We face the darkness and our trials are yet untold 

Through the shadows of despair 

Only silence helps me share, woah, woah To chase our dreams that we've declared

The eclipse through our eyes Yet it falls, blind our sights 

Can't make what they say We'll find a way, we'll find a way

Hands up! The wheels are spinning Across the plains and valleys deep 

To dawn, the wills that sing An unending dream 

Hands up! The tracks arе running Across the plains where shadows hidе 

We run, we strive, woah-oh

In the face of fear and plight And yet we hold our ground, woah 

In life we stand and strive Our victory is found

In the storms, we weather through 

And we hope in the light of truth, woah To break free from chains and come anew

Hands up! The wheels are spinning Across the plains and valleys deep 

To dawn, the wills that sing An unending dream 

Hands up! The tracks are running Across the plains where shadows hide 

We run, we strive, woah-oh

(Woah, woah, woah, woah) (Woah, woah, woah, woah) 

Woah, woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah, woah

Hands up! A  

steady will with the destination that's ever near It comes, shine to our kingdom 

And see the light of day Hands up! The wills are singing 

Whispers and secrets they keep To hope, we found, woah-oh

Break free, we chased our  dreams beneath the starry night 

In the face of God we rose as one
