[English]

Another weekend with a sigh, I’m so tired of the same old, oh

The spotlight dancing behind this glass, bursting with bubbles

The days were leaving me behind when I received a message from fate

I wasn’t just idly waiting (No, no)

Now or never, make it happen (Uh, uh, uh)

I’ve never felt like this before

The dreams that I held fast are now shining inside my heart

Let’s be proud, the best unfinished product

Feel it. Be the one

Can’t stop going going going

Right now. Be the one

My heart beats faster as we become one

Yeah wow

Ready, set, go!

Ah the one and only show time

Yeah wow

Not going to stop now, the shining one

I've been ready for a long time

I’m not hitting on the breaks

I’m driving into the wild waves, the thrill is my spice

Fly to the sky and I see the city beneath me

I’m catching up to the shooting stars that I once saw

I feel like I can fly anywhere and escape from this boredom

Even if I’m alone I’ll be (Good) but better if I’m with you (Yeah yeah)

Now or never, make it happen (Uh, uh, uh)

I’ve never seen a view like this wow

There’s an unbalance, but so what?

We have no fear

Covered in dirt, but we're number one and we got each other's back

Feel it. Be the one

Can’t stop going going going

Right now. Be the one

My heart beats faster as we become one

Yeah wow

Ready, set, go!

Ah the one and only show time

Yeah wow

Not going to stop now, the shining one

Yeah, touch your heart

Can you feel it?

Be the one

Keep on moving, moving, moving with you

Be the one

The world we never knew begins now, baby, shake it up

Be the one

Can’t stop going going going

Right now. Be the one

My heart beats faster as we become one

Yeah wow

Ready, set, go!

Ah the one and only show time

Yeah wow

Not going to stop now, the shining one
