Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to know,
Which way you're supposed to go,
But deep inside you know you're strong,
If you follow your heart you can't be wrong,
Stand Up!
(Stand Up!)
For what is right!
Be brave!
Get ready to fight!
Hold On!
(Hold On!)
We're friends for life!
And if we come together as one,
Complete the quests that we've begun,
We will win the battle!
Galactic Battles! Pokémon!
