Translation:

I'm on the stage that I longed to stand on

Amid loud cheering, clapping and excitement

Through my tough lessons I've overcome my barriers

And today I have my chance, the curtain opens

There were days when I was the only one who couldn't dance And cried on the way home

And days when I couldn't sing the way I wanted to And lost confidence

My rivals always Seemed to shine

Dreams lie in your sweat

They're flowers that bloom little by little

Your efforts will never let you down

Dreams lie in your sweat They bud and keep waiting Until your wishes come true, as they surely will one day  I never imagined the spotlight would be so bright It's like the morning sun after a long night I want to be just as good as the more experienced members We wanted to make our own show

There were days when I cried in frustration

When I got injured and had to sit out

And days when I gave up Trying to balance school and lessons

But I could hear An "Encore!" somewhere

Dreams lie after the tears

They're the flowers in your smile after you stop crying  The bud of your efforts will bloom eventually Dreams lie after the tears

I'll keep believing through the wind and the rain

Until my prayers reach sunny skies

Dance For your life! Sing For your life!

Don't forget Your early days

Give it all you've got! Oh!

Dreams lie in your sweat They're flowers that bloom little by little Your efforts will never let you down Dreams lie in your sweat They bud and keep waiting Until your wishes come true, as they surely will one day
