The official English translation of the lyrics to "The Future I Dreamed Of" as written in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. These lyrics are stylized, as they are intended to be singable.
There are days you'll be weak, There are days you'll be lost
There are times where you feel you wanna run and hide
There are days you'll be down And you start to wonder if
The world would be better off if you died
I have those days too
But I believe, I believe I'm gonna make it through and
I won't run away, I won't die
I'm gonna level up!
Be the best that I can be, And I'm not gonna stop questing until I'm a hero
I'm gonna level up!
Be the best that I can be I swear that I'll Become unstoppable and you'll beam right at me
I've gotta see this through I can't look back till the end
Rise from rock bottom To the future I've seen in my dreams
So come on, let's go level up

Pathetic, ashamed,
Have you ever had times when you want to run away?
 
Too sad, too empty,
Have you had those days when you just want to die?
 
I have
 
But still, I want to believe in myself
I won’t run away, I won’t die
 
I’ll rise up!
And become the coolest, strongest hero in the whole wide world
 
I’ll rise up!
And be the man who can make you smile more than anyone else in the world
 
It’s too soon to judge your progress yet
When you’re at rock bottom, aim for your dream
Come with me, and rise up!
For sure, right now, I’ve got no money
Don’t know where tomorrow’s dinner’s coming from – everyday
 
Got no contacts, got no legend
Nobody notices me … But
 
I have a dream
 
So, I’m not going to give up yet
I won’t let it end like this
 
I’ll rise up!
And be the hero who saves more people than anyone else in the world
 
I’ll rise up!
And be the man who dries more tears than anyone else in the world
 
It’s not like you’re on your own, you know
On those nights when you’re hurting or lonely
Come have a drink with me
 
Rise up!
 
Right then, you believe in yourself too
So, let’s move forward, together
 
I’ll rise up!
And become the coolest, strongest hero in the whole wide world
 
I’ll rise up!
And be the man who can make you smile more than anyone else in the world
 
It’s too soon to judge your progress yet
When you’re at rock bottom, aim for your dream
Come with me, and rise up!
