[English]

Thank you for coming to our show

The night is young

And the show has just begun

I haven't got much time to waste

It's time to make my way

I'm not afraid of what I'll face

But I'm afraid to stay

I'm going down my own road

And I can make it alone

I'll work and I'll fight

Till I find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump?

Get ready to jump

Don't ever look back, oh baby

Yes, I'm ready to jump

Just take my hand

Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start

My sisters and me

The only thing you can depend on

Is your family

Life's gonna drop you down

Like the limbs of a tree

It sways and it swings and it bends

Until it makes you see

Are you ready to jump?

Get ready to jump

Don't ever look back, oh baby

Yes, I'm ready to jump

Just take my hand

Get ready to

Are you ready?

I'll work and I'll fight

Till I find a place of my own

It sways and it swings and it bends

Until you make it your own

I can make it alone

I can make it alone

I can make it alone

I can make it alone

I can make it alone

I can make it alone

I can make it alone

I can-

(My sisters and me)

(My sisters and me)

(My sisters and me)

(My sisters and me)

Are you ready to jump?

Get ready to jump

Don't ever look back, oh baby

Yes, I'm ready to jump

Just take my hand

Get ready to jump

Are you ready to jump?

Get ready to jump

Don't ever look back, oh baby

Yes, I'm ready to jump

Just take my hand

Get ready to

Are you ready?

(Are you ready?)

(Are you ready?)

(Are you ready?)

(Are you ready?)

(Get ready to jump)

(Get ready to jump)

(Get ready to jump)

(Get ready to jump)

(Get ready to jump)

(Don't ever look back)

(Don't ever look back)

Get ready to jump
