This transcription was made by Azizi Powell from the video.

The soloist’s and choir’s words often overlap each other.

The interjections and other words that I put in brackets are probably optional. A question mark in brackets means that I'm not sure about my transcription.

Corrections & additions, and information about the composer of this song and the Cosmos Warriors are very welcome.
