Sounds a bit empty compared to the full version, but now that bass is way more prominent.

The best version, without the terrible vocals
I like the Primals vocals, but I think instrumental ver is better in dawntrail.
The bass makes me ears feel good
I like this much better than the version with vocals
Time, no more once upon a time
Take flight, find your wings and spread them wide
It's time for the journey of our lives
From the ashes we're reborn
Unto the heavens we ride
Fighting through the storm
Leaving our shadows far behind
Having walked right to the end
With one more trial we are faced
Turn back, transcend
Only we decide our fates
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
No more runnin'
Tight! Seize the day and hold on tight
The sun is risin'
Life, take it slow and take a bite
One day at a time
Unwind your heart and find your worries'll disappear
Here every trail is paved with hope
Tonight the stars align, our fortunes, are crystal clear
(Tonight the stars are crystal clear, they are)
Now turn the page to tales untold
(All tomorrow's twists and turns—tales to see unfold with each step we take)
Just imagine what's around the bend
(Maybe magic or mischief? Gods forfend!)
Endless marvels, myst'ries, newfound friends
(Wilder than wildest dreams portend)
Tender hearts or sorrow's skies to mend (Oh, oh)
(Fill them with golden tones instead)
Steady forward, there's so much to see, for you and me
(Together you and me)
Discover anew, the rainbow in you
And color the night in laughter and light
The path that we take is ours to create
Oh, running in stride, we can find our way
Yeah we can, let's go!
On this trail but we can't see the end
(Until we close our eyes so—)
Tight, seize the day and hold on tight
The sun is risin'
Life, take it slow and take a bite
One day at a time
Our time to shine
Join in the salt wind's choir as we wander with the tide
Come enjoy the ride
Hold your head up high
High, on the dawn we set our sights
A new horizon
Fly, ever forward, starry-eyed
To an open sky
I really like the teaser versions of the song because they were still hype but they werent over the top. The full version of the song personally seemed like a live version more than a studio recording .
