Ganbatte!

So conditioned to look up
Can't we just be upside down?

See your life from different spots
Change perspective, think a lot

Work your posture, strength, and flex
Join the circus, do your best

Try to just ignore the pain
See the future, see the fame

Sequins gold in light air shine
Rising bright and flying high

Hear the roar of my applause
All the effort's worth the sobs.
