[English]

Open a different door, don’t need to follow

You’re on your way, I’m on my way

Feels like each day changes color

Find the way that shines brightly

I’m on my way you just have to believe

I’m on my way it’s just as it seems

You are someone’s dreams come true

Déjà vu of some perfect day

Strange view of somewhere I want to stay

I’ll be far away

That’s my

Life is a beautiful galaxy

Be a writer, the genre is fantasy

A big big stage will open for me tomorrow

So that is who I am

Look at me

now

A different me from yesterday, it’s thrilling

Everything I’m afraid of makes my heart flutter now

I’m in sky high, OMG

The trivial things are fading away

Look at me now

I’m on fire

I’m on my way you just have to believe

I’m on my way it’s just as it seems

You are someone’s dreams come true

Déjà vu of some perfect day

Strange view of somewhere I want to stay

I’ll be far away

That’s my

Life is a beautiful galaxy

Be a writer, the genre is fantasy

A big big stage will open for me tomorrow

So that is who I am

Even if I get lost on a dark night

Just fly high, then wherever you go

Will be the way

1, 2, 3

Fly up.

I hope you’d be someone’s dreams come true

Déjà vu of some perfect day

Strange view of somewhere I want to stay

I’ll be far away

That’s my

Life is a beautiful galaxy

Be a writer, the genre is fantasy

A big big stage will open for me tomorrow

So that is who I am
