Lyrics

Standard version

It's about you,
It's about me,
It's about hope,
It's about dreams.
It's about friends that work together,
To claim their destiny.

It's about reaching for the sky,
(Pokémon)
Having the courage,
And willing to try.

It's about never giving up,
So hold your head up,
And we will carry on,
(Sinnoh League Victors)
Pokémon!

Extended version

It's about you,
It's about me,
It's about hope,
It's about dreams.
It's about friends that work together,
To claim their destiny.

It's about reaching for the sky,
(Pokémon)
Having the courage,
And willing to try.

It's about never giving up,
So hold your head up,
And we will carry on!

It's about reaching for the sky,
(Pokémon)
Having the courage,
And willing to try.

It's about never giving up,
So hold your head up,
And we will carry on,
(Sinnoh League Victors)
Pokémon!

Trivia

• This is the second dub opening not to use any clips from any episode, only using clips from the Japanese opening The Greatest - Everyday!. The original version of Unbeatable had no clips, but was eventually edited to remove clips featuring unrevealed Pokémon.
• Due to We Will Carry On! and The Greatest - Everyday! debuting on the same episode, this currently marks the only time that the Japanese and dub openings changed in the same episode that didn't come at the same time as a new series.
  • This is also the only dub opening to debut and finish at the same time as its corresponding Japanese opening, as both We Will Carry On! and The Greatest - Everyday! were used from Regaining the Home Advantage! to Memories are Made of Bliss!. (although the latter opening was also used for two special episodes.)
• An extended version of We Will Carry On! was used in Memories are Made of Bliss!.
