Suddenly there was an opportunity
Everything was empty, we had no goal
Just like when our mothers gave birth
And we weren't consulted at all
What could this opportunity be in the end
We still haven't thought about it too clearly
But events have already rushed out of control, seriously

We don't have any experience at all
And we don't like the past
But our hearts understand how to keep going
So there will definitely be some new results

We don't know if life requires techniques
Or if we should just get busy and work hard
Anyway, things have already started so we can't be afraid of chaos

Oh, when we get an opportunity we must express our desire
Oh, when we get an opportunity we have to express our strength
