[English]

作曲 : Andreas Ohrn/Peter Bostrom

Chasing a chance,

Give us the strength

The curtain rises on our cinema

We never stop, Can't get enough

Even now, right here, live it up

We got it, We got it going on

We get it, We get it poppin' now

Straight to the top,

All the way up

The place we're aiming for is No.1

Never down, Never scared

Rising above the troubles

One more dance, One more stage

Turn it up, time and time again

All the mistakes, We don't care

Stronger than our past

Breaking away, Breaking away

Chasing after the next chance

We gotta run now

Run…

Don't stop now,

Everybody get down

Seize that one more chance, Run!

Don't stop now,

Everybody get down

Right now, one more chance, Run!

Don't stop now,

Everybody get down

In our hands, one more chance, Run!

Here we come, Here we come

Gotta keep it golden

Stuck in the cage,

Feeling the rage

Just like an animal

Breaking the rules,

Breaking the chain

Smashing through like a wrecking ball

We got it, We got it going on

We get it, We get it poppin' now

Stealing the show,

Stealing your heart

A criminal stealing your heart

Never down, Never scared

Layer upon layer of drama (All the drama)

One more dance, One more stage

Leading to our karma (Catching karma)

All the mistakes, We don't care

Feeling the hunger

Breaking away, Breaking away

Run through it all, chase the moment

Oh… Keeping it golden

Oh… We gotta get up

Oh… We get it poppin'

Oh… We never stop

Oh… Just as we please

Oh… Chasing our dream

Oh… Inside the light

Oh… We're gonna rise,

We're gonna fly,

We're gonna make it now

We gotta run now

Run… Let's get it on now

Hahaha

I said "run now"

Run…

Don't stop now,

Everybody get down

Seize that one more chance, Run!

Don't stop now,

Everybody get down

Right now, one more chance, Run!

Don't stop now,

Everybody get down

In our hands, one more chance, Run!

Here we come, Here we come

Gotta keep it golden

Run…

Gotta keep it golden
