| If you're strong, you can fly
You can reach the other side of the rainbow
It's all right, take a chance
'Cause there is no circumstance that you can't handle
When you use your mind
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Trouble keeps you running faster
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Save the planet from disaster
Through the dark to the light
It's a supersonic flight
Gotta keep it going
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Trouble keeps you running faster
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Save the planet from disaster
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Spinning through a world in motion
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Save the planet from disaster

| Come on, run away
You don't have to stay
We're nearly out of time
But you're doin' fine
So stay on track
And don't look back
Just feel the pace
Come on, now race
Everybody's Super Sonic Racing
Try to keep your feet right on the ground
When you're Super Sonic Racing
There's no time to look around
We're just Super Sonic Racing
Running to the point of no return
Everybody's Super Sonic Racing
Come on, let the fires burn
Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody
Everybody's Super Sonic Racing
Try to keep your feet right on the ground
When you're Super Sonic Racing
There's no time to look around
We're just Super Sonic Racing (Super Sonic Racing)
Running to the point of no return
Everybody's Super Sonic Racing
Come on, let the fires burn
Let's go
Don't you know
We really have to go
To a place
Where you can feel my heart just race

| Thunder, rain and lightnin'
Danger, water risin'
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floatin' in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take, all the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we? What can we do?
You and I are the same in the way that
We have our own styles that we won't change
Your's is filled with evil and mine is not
There is no way I can lose
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one-way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see

| Can you feel life movin' through your mind?
Oh, looks like it came back for more, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can you feel time slippin' down your spine?
Oh, you try and try to ignore, yeah
But you can hardly swallow
Your fears and pain
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came
Live and learn
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn
From the works of yesterday
Live and learn
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn
You may never find your way
Hey, whoa, whoa
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

| Rollin' around at the speed of sound
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow
Can't stick around, have to keep movin' on
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out
Must keep on movin' ahead
No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
Trustin' in what you can't see
Take my lead, I'll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through; prove it to you
Follow me
Oh yeah
Danger is lurking around every turn
Trust your feelings, got to live and learn
I know with some luck that I'll make it through
Got no more other options, only one thing to do
I don't care what lies ahead
No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
Find that next stage, no matter what that may be
Take my lead, I'll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through; prove it to you
Follow me
Follow me

| What goes up must come down
Yet my feet don't touch the ground
Seein' the world spinnin' upside down
A mighty crash without a sound
I can feel your every rage
Step aside, I'll turn the page
Breaking through your crazy maze
Like a laser beam my eyes on you
Watch me rule the night away
Watch me save the day
Feel my storm is getting close
Headin' your way
Sonic Heroes, Sonic Heroes
Bind you, confine you, defying your reign
Sonic Heroes, Sonic Heroes
Setting the stage for a hero's parade
You can bet there ain't no doubt
As the words spill from the mouth of a hero
I can chase another day, fight you all the way
Like a hero
And together we stand strong no matter how
No one can bring us down
Hey
Sonic Heroes, Sonic Heroes
Bind you, confine you, defying your reign
Sonic Heroes, Sonic Heroes
Setting the stage for a hero's parade

| Make-believes reborn
Myths in mind rethought
Question all that's known
Legends blurred and torn
Make-believes reborn (make-believes reborn)
Myths in mind rethought (myths in mind rethought)
Question all that's known (question all that's known)
Legends blurred and torn (legends blurred and torn)
(Legends blurred and torn)
Yeah
No such thing as fate for those who speed
A path out of time instead of just livin' it
So many things need a push or a pull to begin
Un-free to move unless another hand gets in
Be it all the same, it's never the same
Just like that, it's nothin' it all just means
Nothin' it all just means
If all as is, then it's never as is
Back to fact, make real of all that seems
Make real of all that seems
Seven rings in hand
Speed through nights with feet in sand
Seven rings in hand
Wonders all under command
Seven rings in hand
Wild with just one single hand
Seven rings in hand
Arrowed hearts catch fire now
Seven rings in hand
Nights with feet in sand
Seven rings in hand
Seven rings in hand
Make-believes reborn (make-believes reborn)
Myths in mind rethought (myths in mind rethought)
Question all that's known (question all that's known)
Legends blurred and torn (legends blurred and torn)
(Legends blurred and torn)
Yeah

| Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Hey, all (hey, all)
Welcome to the greatest storm
I know (I know)
You have waited much too long
And I (and I)
I will be your shining star
I'm here (I'm here)
Here to conquer near and far
Like the sun (the sun), I run (I run)
Into the heat of day
Like a knight (like a knight), I'll fight (I'll fight)
Until the fight is won
In a rage (a rage), I'll save (I'll save)
Each and every, each and every, each and every one
Until this war is won
And I live to rule by the sword
Slashing through the every inch of the power
The power in you
As I sit, as I stand by the table I command
My kingdom
I'm the knight of the wind
The Knight of the Wind
I'm the Knight of the Wind
Our castle is a massive force
A stronghold of power
My armour stays unbreakable
In battle every hour
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Reach for the Stars[edit]
This track was the main theme for Sonic Colors. The track was remixed several times throughout Sonic Colors, and even found its way into the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, where an instrumental version would play when Sonic gained the Speed Shoes. Remixed versions of the song appear as Sonic's theme in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed and Team Sonic Racing. The track is performed by Jean Paul Makhlouf, of the band Cash Cash. The PAL release refers to the game of origin as Sonic Colours due to the difference in spelling between American and Commonwealth English.

| Take off at a speed of sound
Bright lights, colors all around
I'm running wild, livin' fast and free
Got no regrets inside of me
Not lookin' back
Not givin' up
Not letting go
I'll keep on running
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I've never felt like this, I'll keep on runnin'
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand, we're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight
Tonight
Wake up, livin' day by day
Do what I want, and I'll do it my way
The world's flying right below my feet
Got no regrets inside of me
Not lookin' back (Not lookin' back)
Not givin' up (Not givin' up)
Not letting go
I'll keep on running
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I've never felt like this, I'll keep on runnin'
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand, we're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight
Tonight

| I can't do this alone
Even though I am strong
Need something more than me
Someone to push me to victory
Let's see what we can do
Together, me and you
Can't be afraid to try
Kiss your fears goodbye
No looking back
You and I, we're on the attack
Full speed ahead
Running to the sunset
Such a different feeling
Both of us believing
We can make it better
Together, we can show the world what we can do
You are next to me and I'm next to you
Push me on through until the battle's won
No one's gonna give a thing to us
Into each other we put our trust
Standing united, after the fight
All alone we will never be
The two of us are holding the key
We see today, a world we couldn't see
Before I say goodbye to you, one more last fist bump
I know you have been afraid before
But you don't have to be any more
No more emptiness to feel inside
When we run together, no one can break up our stride
No looking back
You and I, we're on the attack
Full speed ahead
Running to the sunset
Such a different feeling
Both of us believing
We can make it better

Sunset Heights[edit]

- Right There, Ride On is the only previous Sonic the Hedgehog song not to be included in Ultimate.
- This is the only game where the vocal to non-vocal ratio of Sonic the Hedgehog music is even.
- If one counts both versions of SSB4 as being the same game, Ultimate is the only game with 3rd Party characters where the Sonic the Hedgehog universe does not have the most music for any third party universe, as Mega Man, Street Fighter and Fatal Fury exceed it.
