Lyrics

Game Size

We're on our way 
At last, we are 
Someday we'll reach the stars 

Once we saw a future 
Filled with our fears 
We knew the past 
Had so many tears 
We couldn't see a better day 

Now we know that there is 
A bright future here in store 
With the possibility 
Of so much more 

On our way 
We can make it 
We'll reach for the rising sun 
On our way 
Every day into the new millennium 
On our way 
We'll discover the secret of who we are 
On our way 
We'll reach out and touch a shooting star 
Now that we're on our way 

We're on our way 
At last, we are 
Someday we'll reach the stars

Long Version

We're on our way At last, we are Someday we'll reach the stars Once we saw a future Filled with our fears We knew the past Had so many tears We couldn't see a better day We thought our frontiers Had come to an end With only borders left to defend There had to be a better way Now there's a reason We've got something real to fight Not even our wildest dreams Are out of sight * On our way We can make it We'll reach for the rising sun On our way Every day into the new millennium On our way We'll discover the secret of who we are On our way We'll reach out and touch a shooting star Now that we're on our way We're on our way At last, we are Someday we'll reach the stars We fought with each other For far too long We couldn't stop although it was wrong That was the sad reality Now we know that there is A bright future here in store With the possibility Of so much more On our way We can do it We'll take what we know is ours On our way It's our destiny to reach the farthest stars On our way We'll discover the reason we live and die On our way As our starships burst into the sky Now that we're on our way Now we know that there is A bright future here in store With the possibility Of so much Of so much Of so much more * Repeat ** We're on our way At last, we are Someday we'll reach the stars ** Repeat ×2

Song Production Information

Yoshihiko Koezuka

I originally created this song with a dance-styled arrangement, but when I completed it at a certain point, I let the director Sakurai listen to it, and suggested me "let's go with a West Coast style", so I changed the arrangement. As a result, it perfectly matches the vocals. This is the new unit "Tommy-T"'s first millennium song in 2000.

Video Production Information

None.
