J-Rocks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lewati semua rintangan yang menghalangi langkahku
Dan membatasi mimpi-mimpiku
Ku takkan menyerah
Meski lelah jiwa tuk hadapi
Sampai mati ku takkan berhenti
Takkan pernah menunggu kita tuk bisa pahami hidup
Dan sesali semua yang tlah lalu
Hadapi saja jangan kau ragu tuk jalani hidup ini
Just spread all of your wings
And always chase your dreams
Leave all the pain and make our life begin
And when it seems to be hard to live in our ways
But we must go on and always struggling
To make all of our dreams come true
Just spread all of your wings
And always chase your dreams
Leave all the pain and make our life begin
And when it seems to be hard to live in our ways
But we must go on and always struggling
To make all of our dreams come true
Just spread all of your wings
And always chase your dreams
Leave all the pain and make our life begin
And when it seems to be hard to live in our ways
But we must go on and always struggling
To make all of our dreams come true
