The One (English ver.) lyrics

No reason why
I can't understand it
Open your mind
We can understand it
Please let me know
If you know this is the end of the world
Let me know
If you know the truth
 
Looking for our hope
Looking for our dream
We're gonna find a way to change
This is our song
This is our dream
Please take us to the land of dreams
 
We are the one
Together
We are the only one
You are the one
Forever
You are the only one
[x2]
 
I feel it now
The time has come for us
Believe it now
It's time to get ready
Tell me why
You know that this is the end of the world
Tell me why
You know it's the truth
 
We stand in a circle pit
Side by side
We stand in a circle pit
Raise your hands
 
This is our song
This is our dream
Please take us to the land of dreams
Faraway
 
We are the one
Together
We're the only one
You are the one
Forever
You're the only one
We are the one
Whenever
We are on your side
You are the one
Remember
Always on your side
 
We are the one
Together
We're the only one
You are the one
Forever

Is this a translation because they sing in Japanese too?

No, these are the original English lyrics.

If I understood correctly, there's also a version in Japanese and English (the video you have added)? If so, it might be good to edit the title of this song to be "The One (English ver.)" or something similar.

I'm not 100% a Japanese version exists, as I couldn't find it anywhere.

I suppose not, but at least here it says that the version completely in English isn't in the standard edition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Resistance
I edited the title just in case someone happens to add the English & Japanese version with the same name.

I disagree, because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, and cannot be considered a fully trustworthy source of information. There is no Japanese version, and the lyrics I posted were the official lyrics found under the music video posted on the band's YouTube channel.

Yes, but even in the official video's description it says 【"THE ONE -English ver.-" Lyrics】, which indicates that those are the lyrics of the English version...? I don't know Japanese though so I can't say for sure how much the two versions of the song differ from each other.

The thing is, that the so-called Japanese version is still mostly in English. Only a few sentences of it are in Japanese.

You're right, it only has a couple of lines in Japanese.

The One was only ever released in English in an effort to connect with their English speaking fans. [source]

Yes, and it would still be totally fine to add the version with some Japanese lines as a separate entry even though it's mostly in English and quite similar with this one.

And why don't we call that the (Eng/Jap Ver.)?
