5. Lyrics/Music : Jaan Kenbrovin/John William Kellette
When shadows creep When I'm asleep To lands of hope I stray
Then at daybreak When I awake My bluebird flutters away
Happiness you seem so near me Happiness come forth and cheers me
I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high Nearly reach the sky Then like my dreams they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding I've looked everywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air
I'm dreaming dreams I'm scheming schemes I'm building castles high
They're born anew Their days are few Just like a sweet butterfly
And as the daylight is dawning They come again in the morning
I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high Nearly reach the sky Then like my dreams they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding I've looked everywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air.

6. Fight Song
I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high, nearly reach the sky And like my dreams they fade and die Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air United! (clap hands) united! (clap hands)
