No matter what happens today
You can't let nothing hold you down
And it's not what they say
So be strong because your moment is now
Let the wind lift your dreams up to the sky
Cause the storm in the desert has arrived
No matter what
We stand tall
Yalla Asia one and all
[Chorus]
Yalla Asia Yalla Asia
Yalla Asia Yalla Asia
Asia Asia (Asia)
[Karl Wolf]
Write all your fears there in the sand
And then let them all wash away
Your turn is here
Part of the plan
Now let's start upon this beautiful day
Let the wind lift your dreams up to the sky
Cause the storm in the desert has arrived
No matter what
We stand tall
Yalla Asia one and all
[Chorus]
Yalla Asia (Yalla Asia)
Yalla Asia (Yalla Asia)
Yalla Asia (Yalla Yalla)
Yalla Asia Asia Asia (Asia)
[Radhika]
From small beginnings we can make a gripping row
That in this one small stair we'll go
A thousand miles
Never thought of now
The game is on
Just believe and follow your true colors
Shout out "Yalla Asia"
[Chorus]
Yalla Asia (Yalla Asia)
Yalla Asia (Yalla Asia)
Yalla Asia (Yalla Asia)
Yalla Asia Asia Asia
Yalla Asia (Yalla Asia)
Yalla Asia (Oh)
Yalla Asia
Yalla Asia Asia Asia (Asia)
