A full English cover of The Future I Dreamed Of, from Yakuza Like a Dragon and LAD Infinite Wealth karaoke!
I did a lot of work for this, but managed to finish it all in a day.
I played the bass guitar and created the whole instrumental from scratch, then translated the lyrics from start to finish and recorded vocals - it was a grind, but I got it done!
I wouldn't have made this track without your suggestions. The high demand for more Yakuza, as well as your comments, made this possible. Thank you!

LYRICS:
Have you ever felt, pathetic and ashamed
Have you ever had times you want to run away?
A sad, empty life
Lying, thinking late at night
Would it be better off if I die?
I have felt that way
But still
I want to believe in myself
I won’t run away, or give up
I’m gonna rise up
I’m never giving up
I’ll be the hero I wanna be
And get stronger
I’m gonna rise up
I’m never giving up
I’m gonna be the man who can put a smile on your face
It’s too soon to judge your progress yet
When you’re at rock bottom, you never give up on your dream
And we’ll see the future I dreamed of
I’ve got nothing right now
Got no money, no renown
Don’t know where my next meal’s coming everyday
Got no-one to call, got no story to unfold
No-one notices me anymore
But I have a dream
So, I’m not giving up, I won’t let it end like this
I’m taking back my life
I’m gonna rise up
I’m never giving up
I’ll be the hero I wanna be
And get stronger
I’m gonna rise up
I’m never giving up
I’m gonna dry every tear in the whole wide world
You’re not alone - no matter what you say
On those nights when you’re hurting or lonely
Come and you’ll see, that it’ll be alright
Time to get up!
You believe in yourself
It’s time to get on the road
Now let’s take it on, together
I’m gonna rise up
I’m never giving up
I’ll be the hero I wanna be
And get stronger
I’m gonna rise up
I’m never giving up
I’m gonna be the man who can put a smile on your face
It’s too soon to judge your progress yet
When you’re at rock bottom, you never give up on your dream
And we’ll see the future I dreamed of
