My next selection is "On the Road (Bouken Dreamer)" by Psychic Lover. If you've never heard of this song or the group, it's probably because it's Japanese. This song happens to be ending theme song to "Gougou Sentai Boukenger" a Japanese kids' show.
To give you a better idea of what I'm talking about, "Gougou Sentai Boukenger" will be adapted in English next year with the title "Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive"
I'm not usually a J-pop fan, but I liked this song, even before I was inspired to re-write the lyrics.
This song basically sums up the kind of attitude I feel that all Christians should have about being Christians (myself included), but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Run Around this World of Great Adventure!
I do not know
Why so many are so sad
They all look around the world (they all look around the world)
And they only see the things that are so bad.
Why can't they see
All they need to do is try
To see the good around the world (to see the good around the world)
And then the future is as boundless as the sky
If I put my faith in God, then this will happen:
All of my dreams and all of my wishes
Will become reality. Yes I can! (Go! Go!)
Let's go run around this World of Great Adventure
Let's all work toward our future
We only have one planet, one life. (Of Adventure)
If you believe, then you are bound by nothing.
Faith is something precious. The gift of Jesus is his Christ light (of Adventure)
1! 2! If you're God's children
3! 4! Then you can live in
Jesus is the World of Great Adventure
Glory to God!
Many things
Will draw you away from Him
They may seem desirable (they may seem desirable)
But they are just a form of Satan's trap.
Only through Him
Can true riches be found
It will be incredible (it will be incredible)
If you use the Bible as your Treasure Map
When your life is serving God, everything becomes fresh
Put your heart in it. When you put your heart in it
It regenerates from stone into flesh (Go! Go!)
And then All the world is a World of Great Adventure
Beyond the realm of Dreamers is
The Paradise of my Father's Kingdom (of Adventure)
Heaven's Road, I'm going to walk it my way.
And my way is through Jesus Christ. And I will then be in the World (of Adventure)
1! 2! We'll live forever
3! 4! In Heaven together
Jesus is the World of Great Adventure
Glory to God!
If you look inside your heart, and Jesus is there
Your soul is baptized in the Holy Spirit
And then there is nothing left to fear.
Let's go run around this World of Great Adventure
Christ has paid the ransom for us
So we may have eternal lives (of Adventure)
If you believe, then you are bound by nothing.
Faith is something precious. The gift of Jesus is his Christ light!
As we go into the World of Great Adventure
Where Jesus is our future
We build our houses upon the rock (Of Adventure)
If you believe, then you can do it God's Way.
And God's way is to take His word and give it to the sheep in His flock (What a Great Adventure!)
In God, beyond the Dreamers
In God, we live forever
Jesus is the World of Great Adventure
Glory to God!
