[English]

Love in your eyes, sitting silent by my side

Going on, holding hands, walking through the nights

Hold me up, hold me tight, lift me up to touch the sky

Teaching me to love with heart, helping me open my mind

I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly

To give the best of mine, 'til the end of the time

Believe me I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly

To give the best of mine, the heaven in the sky

...

Stars in the sky, wishing once upon a time

Give me love, make me smile, 'til the end of life

Hold me up, hold me tight, lift me up to touch the sky

Teaching me to love with heart, helping me open my mind

I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly

To give the best of mine, 'til the end of the time

Believe me I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly

To give the best of mine, the heaven in the sky

...

Can't you believe that you light up my way

No matter how that ease my path, I'll never lose my faith

See me fly, I'm proud to fly up high

Show you the best of mine, 'til the end of the time

Believe me I can fly, I'm singing in the sky

Show you the best of mine, the heaven in the sky

Nothing can stop me

Spread my wings... so wide

...
