[English]

Can't take me back no

Can't take me back no

how much longer

the memories fade away as I reach out

this endless dungeon

the dream I chase is like a mirage

giving up would be so much easy

but how can one say it’s impossible

Baby you don't know

before you collapse

ask your heart

the deeper the darkness

the brighter the stars glow

the heart beats faster

that’s your answer, so stand up

Hey start running

this is the beginning of My New World

Hey let it all out

take the light and shadow with you

run run the traces of tears

run run keep on going

run run never look back

take the bumpy road My New World

can’t get out of this maze

what’s going on

I can’t just accept this as fate

the darkness that I carry deep inside

and the pain that I hide

tear down this invisible wall that confines me

drive away the skeptical voices no no no no no

follow the voice from within go go go go go

run up and just fly

the past is the past

throw it all away and delete

every time I take a step

the wind becomes stronger

swaying things far away

even the world unknown

Hey start running

this is the beginning of My New World

Hey let it all hang out

take the light and shadow with you

run run the muddy ground

run run keep on going

run run until the day you reach

take the bumpy road My New World

these legs cringes a little

but the story has just begun

Hold on baby

the darkness gets deeper

just keep on running

nobody can stop you

until you reach the new world

Hey start running

this is the beginning of My New World

Hey let it all out

take the light and shadow with you

run run the traces of tears

run run keep on going

run run never look back

take the bumpy road My New World

Can't take me back no

Can't take me back no
