Lyrics

TV version

A new adventure, another day
One more challenge that comes our way
It's up to me and you
We know what we've got to do
We are together now, friends forever now
Whatever comes our way, we won't run away
Standing tall
One for all
It's our destiny
Pokémon!

Movie version

A new adventure, another day
One more challenge that comes our way
It's up to me and you
We know what we've got to do

It's so simple, it feels so right
It all makes sense, when we're side by side
We lean on one another
And make each other stronger

We are together now, friends forever now
Whatever comes our way, we won't run away
Standing tall
And one for all
It's our destiny

There's no question, no mystery
I'm much better when you're with me
No mountain we can't climb
The power's yours and mine

We are together now, friends forever now
Whatever comes our way, we won't run away
Standing tall
And one for all
It's our destiny
Pokémon!

Ooh ooh, you're my right hand
Ooh ooh, you're my left
Ooh ooh, you give me courage
You, I promise to protect
Ooh ooh, through every challenge
Ooh ooh, through every fight
Ooh ooh, when we're together
It always feels so right

We are together now, friends forever now
Whatever comes our way, we won't run away
Standing tall
And one for all
Always ready when we hear the call
It's our destiny
Pokémon!
