English Cover: FT by Funkist (Fairy Tail Opening 3)


Well, I waited for a long time before I finally come up with an English cover of this well-loved Fairy Tail opening theme by Funkist, thanks to one YouTube user called ChaosSilver25 who gave his permission so I could use his English lyrics, and to TheViviTrance who uploaded the instrumental (which I pitched for my cover to fit my range). Even from the start, I knew this song is going to be very, very, very difficult for me to cover because, number one: I sing ballads, and number two: the original pitch of this song is way above my range.

But as I always say, nothing's stopping me from doing what I want. So even though, I pale in comparison with the original, I will still do this cover.

Everything's alright
Just know I'll scream for you a-s long as I can
You know that_I_always have faith in you
Beca-use your enti-re fu/ture shines bright

Everyone who has had/ the~ir dreams co-me true
Always shares one thing_with everyone else:
They_never_gave_up_on_the_dre-am the-y had
So you- always con/tinue on

So-you-feel-the wind slows you down?
Think/ it/ is/ gon/na make you trip and fall?
Hold_my_hand tight/ and try to take a chance now
Be/cause I will never leave by your si-de

Keep moving forward to the bright light
(And) Don't~ ever_give_up/ on_any_of_your_dreams
You don't/ need to cry, just move ahead, real fast
A-ll the light is shi/ning down on you

Never fo-rget to always go on
The/ stro-nger you- get/ the more/ you_get_hurt, but still
I'll make sure your eyes see the light again.
Promise 
I'll make sure your eyes see the light again 

It's in your heart, Don't stop, (yo) Wake up, Keep going
Day/ after/ day_because that's for your life
The clo-uds, the su-n, the flames that keep on burning_Do these all mean that/ there's stil/l a se^cond chance/

Nobody knows the truth and future, so
The_answer_is_here:/ it's al/ways/ in_your_heart
Don't think "Tomorrow"_live in "now"_and most important is-- 
Always trust in yourself~~~~

Don't wipe the tears/ away from her eyes
(Coz) They/ will help us find/ the weak/ness in us

Surround_the_world_within_clouds
So rain/ can make the flowers bloom
To fill the world with shiny colors more

So_you_can_let_it_go and_leave_it_all_behind
So_you_can_vanish_from_this_world and no-t le-ave a- trace at all
I'll make sure your eyes see the light again.
Promise 
I'll make sure your eyes see the light again 

I_still_remember_how_just/ a single dream
Of_sto-rms_a-nd_seas_could_do_such/ an injury
With tears_still_in_his_eyes he looked up/ into the sky
And_felt_his_fe-et_touching the~ e~dge of the gra-ss road

A~h, but we~~ are not alone
No~, we can fla-a-ay awa-y
There's no way I would be/ eno-ugh for you
You think were one? and/ I~ believe it too

The_clear_blue_sky_without_an_end_that_is_above_us/
We will reach up/ 
Until/ we're_at_the_top_of_the'la-st_cloud~~~~ 

Keep moving forward to the bright light
(And) Don't~ ever_give_up/ on_any_of_your_dreams
You don't/ need to cry, just move ahead, real fast
A-ll the light is shi/ning down on you

Never fo-rget to always go on
The/ stro-nger you- get/ the more/ you_get_hurt, but still
I'll make sure your eyes see the light again.
Promise 
I'll make sure your eyes see the light again

FT (Original Romaji Lyrics)

Daijoubu ore ga nanman kai mo sakende yaru 
Kimi no ashita ga subete kagayaite iru to shinjiteru 
Yume o kanae ta subete no hito ni kasanariau kyoutsu ten 
Akirame naka tatte koto soredake sa maken nayo 

Mukaikaze ni nagasa re kujike sou na toki wa 
Kono te nigire TRY TO MAKE A CHANCE mou 
Kimi wa hitori nanka janaize 

*Motto motto mae e mae e kimi no IKA shita yume akiramenaide 
Sou naitenai de susume MY WAY ima 
Kimi o terashiten da hikari 
Akirame nanka zenbu sutete tsuyo sa to hikikae ni mata kizutsuite 
(End of *) 

Demo kimi no massugu na hitomi ni wa

Ima wa kitto naite CRY DAY bokura tsuyoku wa naishi yowasa daite 
Demo karasanaide ame ni saita hana 
Kimi o tsutsumikon da sekai 
Kanashimi nanka itsuka kieru namida to hikikae ni mata yasashiku narukara 
Kimi no massugu na hitomi ni wa 
Ima mieru daro hikari 

Ookinakaze ni fukarete yureta

Michitan no hana ni jibun kasanete 
Tobe nu sora o miagete hitori de naita 

Ah! Hane wa naikedo

Boku ni tarinai mono wa kimi ga 
Kimi ni tarinai mono wa boku ga 
Kasanari awaserya mugendai 
Ano hiroisora ni mo te ga todokuze! 

(Repeat *) 

Demo kimi no massugu na hitomi ni wa 
Ima mieru daro mirai!
