Alright Alright How are you doing? I’m a nervous wreck No way I’m a nervous wreck No way I see I’m not sure but Really? I can’t see you today True Our sound Our sound We’ll enjoy it Yes Let‘s do it Let’s give this performance some sparkle Is everyone ready? Yeah! OK

Well then, let’s go The world will spark now I said so Light up my smile again, gloriously Not someone else’s life I’m gonna dance and express myself, see The days of excitement will never end Intense eyes in the mirror I nodded many times and counted my weaknesses

The meaning to fight, changes all the time Don’t be scared to be honest So many ‘things’ that I gave up But that’s what makes tomorrow I can smile, everything is a miracle I smile to the world now So I can enjoy all Dreams to my lips again, vividly

I won’t be rushed by beauty I’ll connect the cherished moments, so The throbbing power won’t fade away The blazing sunray make bubble-like shadows I was accusing myself for being unkind It’s hard to cry I don’t want to lose to frustration I want to forgive myself, everything is me Like loving someone else

I want to love myself Holding onto my small pride, casually In my enriched heart If I can find some hope, then someday I will softly tell, to the person I admire If I can’t love the world It’s not because of the heart The tears will become a new dream For me

I will believe myself, see The days of excitement will start from here The world will spark now I said so Light up my smile again, gloriously Not someone else’s life I’m gonna dance and express myself, see The days of excitement will never end
