[English]

No reason why

I can't understand it

Open your mind

We can understand it

Please let me know

If you know this is the end of the world

Let me know

If you know the truth

Looking for our hope

Looking for our dream

We're gonna find a way to change

This is our song

This is our dream

Please take us to the land of dreams

We are THE ONE

Together

We are the only one

You are THE ONE

Forever

You are the only one

We are THE ONE

Together

We are the only one

You are THE ONE

Forever

You are the only one

I feel it now

The time has come for us

Believe it now

It's time to get ready

Tell me why

You know that this is the end of the world

Tell me why

You know it's the truth

We stand in a circle pit

Side by side

We stand in a circle pit

Raise your hands

This is our song

This is our dream

Please take us to the land of dreams

Faraway

We are THE ONE

Together

We are the only one

You are THE ONE

Forever

You are the only one

We are THE ONE

Whenever

We are on your side

You are THE ONE

Remember

Always on your side

We are THE ONE

Together

We are the only one

You are THE ONE

Forever
