Fight on until the very end! Hold on until the very end! When the danger, the danger The danger won’t end That’s when we need our Ultraman! If you believe in your power and take that step You’ll find the light of courage within you So don’t be deceived by their vile machinations Just fight with every drop of strength you have And stand resolute before them! Fight on until the very end! Hold on until the very end! When there’s nothing, nothing, not a thing we can do That’s when we need our Ultraman! Ultraman Gaia! These monsters have never known what love is Perhaps their roars are how they show their pain But they won’t give up on their vile machinations So if we are to protect the ones we love Then we must stand resolute for them! Fight on until the very end! Hold on until the very end! When we’re in trouble, in a panic The danger won’t end That’s when we need our Ultraman! Ultraman Gaia! Fight on until the very end! [Come on Come on Gaia] Hold on until the very end! [Fight on Gaia] Fight on until the very end! [Come on Come on Gaia] Hold on until the very end! [Fight on Gaia] When there’s nothing, nothing Not a thing we can do That’s when we need our Ultraman! Ultraman Gaia!
