Indonesian Lyrics
Bukalah matamu, kuatkan hatimu
Berikan energi di dalam semangatmu
Tegaklah berdiri, terbanglah kau tinggi
Inilah saatnya namamu bergema
Maknai kekalahan sebagai kemenangan yang tertunda
Jangan pernah berputus asa jadi yang terbaik
Show the world
You're as bright as the sun
We deserve to be the one
And fight your fears, come on
Don't waste your time
Raise the energy, you'll shine
And give your best
Let God do the rest (let God do the rest)
Tak ada yang bisa (tak ada yang bisa)
Meretas anganmu (meretas anganmu) (anganmu)
Kita pasti sanggup untuk meraih mimpi ('tuk meraih mimpi)
Kibarkan bendera bangsamu terbentang di tiang tertinggi
Jadikanlah jiwa mudamu mengukir sejarah
Show the world
You're as bright as the sun
We deserve to be the one (we deserve to be the one)
And fight your fears, come on (come on, come on)
Don't waste your time
Raise the energy, you'll shine
And give your best
Let God do the rest
Berbeda bukan alasan untuk tak saling menopang
Tujuan, cita, dan harapan
Berbeda bukan alasan untuk tak saling menopang
Tujuan, cita, dan harapan
Berbeda bukan alasan untuk tak saling menopang
Tujuan, cita, dan harapan
Berbeda bukan alasan untuk tak saling menopang
Tujuan, cita, dan harapan
