Quotable Lyrics:
You knew from the day you were born
That here in this place you belong
You been this brave all along
What broke you once made you strong
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go
Come follow your desire
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
You are the owner of that fire
No onе can take it away
Sweat and blood to write your story
That is how you pavеd the way
You’re about to reach the glory
Only one step away
All the highs and lows
All the tears and the pain
You been there through it all, been through it all
Just do it again
Now you got to believe, I believe
‘Cause you know what it takes
To be living my dream
At the top of your game
Got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale
No olvide’ lo que vales
Juega como tú sabes
Como tú sabe’
Energy’s contagious, you know
And it never fails, no, no
No one’s getting tired, I know
‘Cause you got that fire, ayo
Dream a little higher, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Ayo
Ayo
We’ve taken all that our hearts can hold
And we can’t hold on to the past no more (Mmm)
From the dirt and the tears, we make gold
And we are more than flesh and bones
All the tears and the pain
You been there through it all, been through it all
Just do it again
Now you got to believe (I believe)
‘Cause you know what it takes
To be living my dream
At the top of your game
Feel it
Got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale
No olvide’ lo que vales
Juega como tú sabes
Como tú sabe’
