UPSTANDER Lyrics English Translation by CIX
Even if I close my eyes and turn away
The black out only deepens
When my breath quickens and tightens
I’ll still be holding your hand
Heightening the edge of my senses
Sitting still, praying, at the end of all my yesterdays
Finally, now I’m ready
Oh, whatever you do
With you, you, you, you, you, yeah
It’s time to change, gather your courage
Move, one step at a time
Opposite of the steps that kept their distance and retreated
I go with you, oh
An upstander in this world full of nothing but wounds
No matter where that is, I never hide (Never hide)
Never hide (Never hide)
Right down to the very bottom of despair
I go without fear, oh
With the gentlest of hearts
Leaning even more toward each other
Every moment (Every moment), together (Together)
Oh, you and I, yeah
I will stand by you
Yup, yup, yup
The gaze meeting yours, that alone
Is more precious than anything, believe in the power of ‘us’ (Uh)
Close the distance, then let your guard down
Even if I end up getting hurt no matter what, I
I can’t stop now (Don’t stop)
Instead of spitting out any and all words that could be excuses
Just go ahead and jump in
Without a heart that holds back, run, far away, yeah
It’s time to change, here in my embrace
I’ll hold you, leaving nothing behind
Toward the things that were pushed outside the lines
I go with you, oh
An upstander in this world full of nothing but wounds
No matter where that is, I never hide (Never hide)
Never hide (Never hide)
Right down to the very bottom of despair
I go without fear, oh
With the gentlest of hearts
Leaning even more toward each other
Every moment (Every moment), together (Together)
Oh, you and I, yeah
I will stand by you
I’ll cross the line without fear
Even if I get hurt
Within that very pain
I will become your light
I go with you, oh (Go, oh)
An upstander in this world full of nothing but wounds (Upstander)
No matter where that is, I never hide (Never hide)
Never hide (Never hide)
Right down to the very bottom of despair
I go without fear, oh (Ooh, ooh)
With the gentlest of hearts
Leaning even more toward each other
Every moment (Every moment), together (Together)
Oh, you and I, yeah
I will stand by you
