:The light of dawn pours over the vast Earth
:And marks the beginning of our journey

:I deeply breathe in the rushing wind
:The eyes that could only speak in dreams
:Presented with us the path we're to take
:Fly to the Neverland
:Awaken the unlimited courage inside of us.
:Once the pure flower of your heart
:Can even be made to bloom in the midst of a storm
:We will be wrapped in silence
:And born again in a world with no war
:It will continue to expand for all eternity
:Filling our hearts with love
:Fly to the Neverland
:While holding hands with the one whom I trust.
