[English]

People out there, people out there

Let go of your cares

Turn your cries into loud hallelujahs

This is what we came for, oh-oh-oh

Leave all your worries behind

We know the future's burnin' bright

This is the great jubilation

This is what He came for, what He came for

Oh, these are the days, these are the days

These are the days we've been dreamin' of

So, don't look away, 'cause these are the days

These are the days, better get'em while they come

We thought we'd never see the sun through the dark skies

But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up

These are the days, these are the days

These are the days, we've been dreamin' of, oh-oh-oh

Open your eyes, open your ears

I'm tellin' you why

You'll see Heaven inhabit our praises

This is what we came for, oh-oh-oh

Singing a song of paradise

Believin' the good news is alive

This is the great jubilation

This is what we came for, what He came for

Oh, these are the days, these are the days

These are the days we've been dreamin' of

So, don't look away, 'cause these are the days

These are the days; better get'em while they come

We thought we'd never see the sun through the dark skies

But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up

These are the days, these are the days

These are the days, we've been dreamin' of, oh-oh-oh

If it's not good, then it's not over

If it's not good, then it's not over

If it's not good, then it's not over

If it's not good, then it's not over

These are the days, these are the days

These are the days we've been dreamin' of

So, don't look away, 'cause these are the days

These are the days; better get'em while they come

We thought we'd never see the sun through the dark skies

But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up

These are the days, these are the days

These are the days we've been dreamin' of, oh-oh-oh
