[English]

Feel the earth beneath your feet on the hill

I can't get it’really clear; I'm so confused

Face to face

It's still a stranger's face

Can't recognize who's staring back; my reflection blurred and faded

Feel my heart silently

Through which I see myself clearly

It's crystal clear

I found a mirror somewhere inside my heart

Beautiful, so beautiful deep inside my heart

Try to open up your eyes

Because the truth will never lie

Wipe away the dust, make it clear in my mind

It's tough, but I still gotta try

Because the truth will never die

Always, all the way, all the time

In the darkness, see the real you with your own eyes

Remember, it's you—that is truly you

Feel my heart silently

Through which I see myself clearly

It's crystal clear

I found a mirror somewhere inside my heart

Beautiful, so beautiful deep inside my heart

Try to open up your eyes

Because the truth will never lie

Wipe away the dust, make it clear in my mind

It's tough, but I still gotta try

Because the truth will never die

Always, all the way, all the time

Try to open up your eyes

Because the truth will never lie

Wipe away the dust, make it clear in your mind

Deep inside, there's a lullaby

We just didn't realize

Always, all the way, all the time

In the darkness, see the real you with your own eyes

Remember, it's you—that is truly you

It's you

[Chinese]

Feel the earth on the hill

I couldn't make it clear, I'm so confused

Face to face

It's still a stranger face

Can't recognize who's in the mirror blurred and faded

Feel the heart silently

Through which I can see myself

It's crystal clear

I found a mirror somewhere in my heart

Beautiful, it's beautiful deep inside my heart

Try to brighten up your eyes

'Cause the truth will never lie

Dust swiped away and make it clear in my mind

It's hard yet still have gotta try

'Cause the truth will never die

For always all the way all the time

In the darkness, see the real you with your eyes

Remember it's you, that is you

Feel the heart silently

Through which I can see myself

It's crystal clear

I found a mirror somewhere in my heart

Beautiful, it's beautiful deep inside my heart

Try to brighten up your eyes

'Cause the truth will never lie

Dust swiped away and make it clear in my mind

It's hard yet still have gotta try

'Cause the truth will never die

For always all the way all the time

Try to brighten up your eyes

'Cause the truth will never lie

Dust swiped away and make it clear in my mind

Deep inside, there's a lullaby

Just we didn't realize

For always all the way all the time

In the darkness, see the real you with your eyes

Remember it's you, that is you

It's you
