[Intro]
MNL48!

March forward! (Got it!)
Don't you dare to halt! (Got it!)
A journey to the place where the sun rises
Let's walk on the path of hope!
Path blocked by a river! River! River!
A long and winding river!
The fated river! River! River!
A challenging river!
Forget all of your worries!
Show that you can do it!
Don't hesitate!
And take action
Take a step forward! Believe yourself!

[Refrain]
Forward forward!
Go straight ahead!
Cross the river!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

[Verse 1]
The dream I had one day
It looked so far away
So far away that I could not even reach
So pick up that stone
Underneath your foot
And throw it away with all your might!

[Chorus]
On your path just before your very eyes
A river is flowing
A river so broad and great
Darkly, deeply, even so
The current is fast, even so
You don't have to worry
Do not wander off
A shore is on the other side
You just need to believe in what you can do

[Refrain]
Even if it's dark
Just stay on the path
Don't turn away!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

[Verse 2]
When you extend your hand, there
Future exists, you see
Don't give up on the thing you can not reach!
The stone that you toss
Is the dream granter
Somehow its falling sound could not be heard

[Chorus]
Inside your heart too
A river is flowing
So painful, a river of trial
Maybe it doesn't go smoothly, even so
Sometimes you're almost drown, even so
It's okay to repeat again
Do not give it up
The bank exists just there
Someday your struggle will bring you to it

[Bridge]
Get over it! River!
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH
Stop telling excuse to yourself!
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH
Can't do nothing but keep going!
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH
Gotta keep moving forward!
Keep going keep going keep going
Keep walking on
The path you've decided!

[Chorus]
Just before your very eyes
A river is flowing
Broadly, such a great river
Darkly, deeply, even so
The current is fast, even so (Forward! Forward! Forward, forward, forward!)
Do not be scared, okay? (Ho!)
Do not wander off (Ho!)
That's right, the opposite side is there
So more, believe in yourself

[Chorus]
Inside your heart too
A river is flowing
It is, a river of sweat and tears!
Even if you make a failure
Even if it makes you cry (Forward! Forward! Forward, forward, forward!)
It is okay to start over (Ho!)
Don't say any complaint (Ho!)
Cling onto your dream, yeah
Until the day where your wish come true

[Outro]
Cross the river!
You can do it!
