Lyrics

English

You're looking for the light
Shining oh so bright
Guiding you to fight your way to what you want for your own
Nothing is easy
You've got to be strong
Gotta stand up for what you believe
A true heart

Listening to others words
Sometimes interfere what's in your thoughts
Blocking out what flows out from your mind
Blinding what you feel deep inside of your heart

Learning to turn down what you don't believe
Picking the words that you really do need
Helps you to find all the answers that you are looking for

You're looking for the light
Shining oh so bright
Guiding you to fight your way to what you want for your own
Nothing is easy
You've gotta be strong
Gotta stand up for what you believe
A true heart

Don't let them take away
What's in you heart don't play 
By their own rules make it on your own

You're looking for the light
Guiding you to fight your way to what you want for your own
Nothing is easy
You've gotta be strong
Gotta stand up for what you believe
A true heart

Shining oh so bright
Guiding you to fight your way to what you want for your own
Nothing is easy
You've got to be strong
Gotta stand up for what you believe
A true heart

Japanese translation

あなたは光を求めて あの輝く光を 自分の欲するものを勝ち取る道標 簡単なことはないが 強くなくてはいけない、 自分が信じるもののために立ち上がる その純粋な心 他者の言葉を聞くと たまに自分の考えが妨げられる。 その流出する思いが遮断され、 心の奥底の感情がはっきりせぬまま。 自分が信じないものに対して断ることを学び 必要な言葉だけを選択すると 自分が探していた答えを見つける手助けをしてくれる。 あなたは光を求めて あの輝く光を 自分の欲するものを勝ち取る道標 簡単なことはないが 強くなくてはいけない 自分が信じるもののために立ち上がる その純粋な心 奪われてはいけない、 自分の心の中の想いを、 彼等のルールではなく自分のルールを築き上げ。 あなたは光を求めて それは自分の欲するものを勝ち取る道標 簡単なことはないが 強くなくてはいけない 自分が信じるもののために立ち上がる その純粋な心 あの輝く光は 自分の欲するものを勝ち取る道標 簡単なことはないが 強くなくてはいけない 自分が信じるもののために立ち上がる その純粋な心
