English
- (Instrumental Intro)
- This is my escape
- I'm running through this world and I'm not looking back
- Cause I know I can go
- Where no one's ever gone and I'm not looking back
- But how will I know when I get there?
- And how will I know when to leave?
- We've all gotta start from somewhere
- And it's right there for me
- The possibilities are never ending
- I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)
- I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)
- Endless Possibility
- And so I'll carry on
- My time to shine has come, I feel it! (I feel it, I feel it)
- As fast as I can go
- Straight to the top I know, you'll see it! (You'll see it, you'll see it)
- So please wake me up when I get there
- It feels like I'm lost in a dream
- I know in my heart that it's my time
- And I already see
- The possibilities are never ending!
- I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)
- I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)
- Endless Possibility
- Drop that smile 'cause you're beaten again
- No, this is where my journey begins!
- You're losing speed, you're losing your flow
- But inside me's a power you'll never know!
- Then let it out, it's inside you
- Better all stand back 'cause I'm coming THROUGH!
- (instrumental break)
- I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach
- I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me!
- I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)
- I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)
- Endless Possibility (Endless Possibility)
- Endless Possibility (Endless Possibility)
- Endless Possibility!
