[English]

It’s OK, just be as you are

Just relax, you’re not falling behind

When you’ve lost your way

Why not stop for a moment? Take your time

Oh, turn around and look back

See your footprints?

Always, I’m proud of you

Oh, you’re already special

You should be proud of yourself

Let’s go

Step and a step

in my stride

Step and a step

at a pace just right for me

You can go slowly, you can rest

Go on walking as you are

Just believe yourself

Everything will be fine

Everything will be okay

Everything will be fine

Everything will be okay

Always by my side

Always smiling softly, My friend

Even when I’m feeling alone

If you reach out, Take my hand

Oh, I stumbled

Because I was moving forward

Always I’ll be with you

Oh, look in the mirror

It shows you as you are

Let’s go

Step and a step

in my stride

Step and a step

at a pace just right for me

You can go slowly, you can rest

Go on walking as you are

Just believe yourself

Touch your cheeks and feel the wind

If you close your eyes and sharpen your senses, you’ll see

Don’t get lost Come on, don’t worry, believe in victory

I know you, you’ll be okay

Just because no one can see Your own future

it’s never too late

Keep going step by step, Are u ready?

You don’t have to take a shortcut just because it’s easier

Make tomorrow with your own two hands

So that one day, you can smile

Step and a step

I am who I am

Step and a step

in my own way

Detours are fine, I’ll go at my own pace

I will smile and start to enjoy

Just believe yourself

Everything will be fine

Everything will be okay

Everything will be fine

Everything will be okay
