[English]

We rise together as our destiny unfolds,

We face the darkness and our trials are yet untold.

Through the shadows of despair,

Oh, in silence, hopes we share.

To chase our dreams that we've declared.

We glimpse, through our eyes,

Yet fools, blind our sights,

Can't make what they say.

We'll find our way, we'll find our way.

Heads up! The wheels are spinning,

Across the plains, in valleys deep,

To dawn, the wheels that sing

An unending dream!

Heads up! The tracks are running,

Across the plains, where shadows hide.

We run, we stride~

Heads up! A steady rhythm,

A destination that's ever near.

It comes! Stride to our kingdom

And see the light of day.

Heads up! The wheels are singing,

The whispers and secrets they'd keep.

To hope! We bound~

Break free, we chased our dreams, beneath the starry night.

In the face of god, we rose, as one.
