Description

The screen opens to an angled back view of Luffy looking out over an ocean turned gold by the setting sun, with the camera zooming in as the song continues. As the song progresses, it steadily gets closer and more Straw Hats appear. First Zoro, then Nami, Usopp, and lastly Sanji. It finishes while still zooming in on the five now looking at the gold ocean.

Lyrics

As a kid, I never stopped Searching for a great treasure I had a map in my mind That I knew would lead me I had to find my way to that place Before somebody could beat me The promised land in my hand And I would never let go Day after day... No matter what may come there's nothing that can take away from me My only dream... I won't stop chasing it until it comes true But if the world ever changes I'll call out your name We could return to the time When everything's the same As long as I'm with you My memories won't fade Waiting for that one true dream...
