Sometimes we play, sometimes we lose
With pride or with shame
Sometimes a dream turns into dust
But who's there to blame?

Try not to forget, and to understand
And read between the lines
Get back on your feet
You've got one more chance to make it right this time

The reason we stand
Facing the rising sun, the pain goes on and on
We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky
The reason we stand with pride
Is the will to live and to reach for the stars
So never look back and we'll keep on fighting until we touch the sky

Sometimes the pain burns deep inside
And all seems in vain
Sometimes the fear darkens the path
And leads us astray

Tears in our eyes and our hopes are fading away
But revenge is sweet, get back on your feet
'Cause the war is upon us today
The reason we stand
Facing the rising sun, the pain goes on and on
We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky
The reason we stand with pride
Is the will to live and to reach for the stars
So never look back, you're always just one step away

[Solo]

The reason we stand
Facing the rising sun, the pain goes on and on
We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky
The reason we stand with pride
Is the will to live and to reach for the stars
So never look back, and we'll keep on fighting until we touch the sky

(The reason we stand)
The reason we stand
(Facing the rising sun the pain goes on and on)
Pain goes on and on
(We hold deep inside the power to guide us until we touch the sky)
Fighting until we touch the sky

(Ah, the will to live and to reach for the stars)
The power we hold deep inside, until we touch the sky
One step away!
Just one step away!
Just a step
Just a step
Just a step
