لا لا لا لا لا لا لا لا لا
إنه مادكون
كيلي رولاند
تعيش حياة واحدة
فإنك تحصل على حياة واحدة فقط لذا
عيشها حياة واحدة
كل ما تحصل عليه هو حياة واحدة لذا
عيشها حياة واحدة

لا تدع n-body يخبرك بخلاف ذلك
استمع إلى قلبك
ودع أحلامك تطير
ولا تتخلى عنها أبدًا ولا تتخلى عنها
وحتى عندما تشوشها وتجرب مرة أخرى
لا تتخلى عنها أبدًا بل
يجب أن تدق ذلك
وعندما تمطر يصب مجرد البقاء الدورة
نعم، وحتى عندما كنت تعتقد ن الجسم يهتم
لك فلدي أعتقد أنه يحصل على أفضل

قبل الكورس:
عندما لا تسير الأمور بشكل صحيح
ولا يضيء الضوء لم
يتبق شيء
في قتالك
فلا تتخلى عنه نعم
