LET US MOVE AHEAD (ASEAN Song)
Composed by Candra Darusman
Lyrics by Rizali Indrakesuma
Arranged by Erwin Gutawa
Sung by Lea Simanjuntak & Gabriel B. Harvianto

Throughout these years
We have resolved
Working hard together
For a true community
The beauty of diversity
Bridging all the differences
A sense of unity

CHORUS:
Let us move ahead
Hand in hand as one
Let the virtue stand
And face the challenges of time
Let us move ahead
Integrate as one
To an ASEAN community
Prosperity, peace and harmony

The future is ours
We have the strength
We shall find the peace
Within ourselves and with the world
And as we strive
In our resolve
Sharing this one vision of a true community

Repeat the Chorus

Repeat I except the sixth line

Repeat the Chorus two times

To an ASEAN community
Prosperity, peace and harmony
