Oh Hey! Let’s do this

Future’s in my hands

It’s my wish (All my wish)

Hey, we are NCT WISH (NCT WISH NCT WISH)

Today is dazzlingly blue

The story begins

My love is young and it’s strong (Yeah)

Wearing white sneakers

Feel the Rhy, Rhy, Rhy, Rhythm

Open up your heart, so that it can reach you

Get up It’s us It’s too loud

We know nothing about freezing – like forever

If we listen, if we wish – elevate it

A madness that I engage with in our dreams

Keep on, keep on loving babe (Yeah, That’s right)

(We’re going up to the world)

Open the door (I feel it’s coming, yeah)

Whatever the glitter

It means nothing without you

So I make this wish tonight

Let’s go Fly high in the air

Let’s WISH it up baby (WISH it up, right now)

The world is about to change

Keep it up baby (Keep it up, uh)

It’s up and down – borne on the wind

Yeah, We’re another one

'Cause we wanna WISH

I’m with you, baby

Let’s go forward The WISH’s complete

Future’s in my hands

It’s my wish (All my wish)

Hey, We are NCT WISH (NCT WISH NCT WISH)

Every wish I have

Is for your happiness

Smiles and tears, everything that’s important

I’ll never forget it

Even the sound of my heart in this moment

Keep on, keep on loving babe (Yeah, That’s right)

There’s no night that never ends

An unadorned you (I’m gazing at you)

Dreams and dreams are linked The answer is right there

So I make this wish tonight

Let’s go Fly high in the air

Let’s WISH it up baby (WISH it up, right now)

The world is about to change

Keep it up baby (Keep it up, uh)

It’s up and down – borne on the wind

Yeah, We’re another one

'Cause we wanna WISH
