VERSE 1 (English)
Wake up early, searching every street,
CV in my hand, worn-out shoes on my feet.
Dreams are bigger than the pockets I wear,
Still I lift my head, saying one more prayer.
Everybody asking,
"When you gonna make it?"
But nobody sees
All the chances they take it.
Some of my friends have already lost hope,
Some turned to drugs just to learn how to cope.
Others left home chasing dreams overseas,
Still I'm believing my season will be.

PRE-CHORUS
No matter how dark the night may be,
The morning sun is waiting for me.
One small chance can change my life,
I'll keep on dancing through every fight.

BRIDGE
No more fear...
No more shame...
We all started
With no name.
Every champion
Was once unknown.
Every giant
Started small.
Believe in yourself...
Believe in tomorrow...
Your story isn't over.

VERSE 3 (English)
Don't let pressure steal your dreams,
Life is never what it seems.
Money comes and money goes,
Character is what still grows.
Build your future brick by brick,
No shortcut's ever built it quick.
Keep your faith and hold your ground,
One day they'll hear your victory sound.
