We'll take the chance, we will again
It's our dream and you will see, we'll go hand in hand

I know we're here but I feel, we're not alone
Millions of people are waiting, in their homes
See all the winners and losers, they're always in our hearts
Oh, everybody's waiting, waiting for a start

We'll take the chance, we'll win again
I know my dream, it will come true
We'll take the chance, don't lose the game
It's a game for me and you
We'll take the chance, we'll win again
I know we're going, hand in hand
We'll take the chance, and we are friends
For a game that never ends

I know we're high and we're low and just between
We're feeling the fire of hearts, like a dream
We're living in deep emotion, we're fighting with our hearts
Oh, everybody's waiting, waiting for a start
