[English]

Big dreams and big thrills

Fly high, imagine the impossible

The stars rushing right before your eyes

Seize it, light it up, show me what you got

Can you believe that this is the start?

I feel like I’ve finally learned what love is

Ready or not, I’m going—I believe in myself

Soldiers knocking down doors, shouting out loud

All those times felt like a battle, but now they’re behind us My heart screams out

Run, fly, try it out

If you're rocking with me, oh oh

Here we go, here we go, satellite radio

Send it to my future

To the whole world and over this vast wilderness

To say we loved without regret

I've waited for this, come on over

Wherever we go, we’re coming together

Don’t worry about a thing

Everything will be okay, Hello Future

Meeting you, shining brighter together, yeah yeah

Hey, we’re rising higher, on our way up

Let’s keep building beautiful moments, yeah yeah yeah

We’re going way up, moving upward

On our way up, Hello Future

Hey, I’ve met the future version of you

If we put our hands together above the boundary, we are so alike

What more will I find? Will I end up smiling?

From now on, I call it destiny

Fire, fire, like a small flower surviving in smoky haze

Loving you in the same moment

Here we go, spreading our wings again

Even if we fall and get hurt again

You’re stronger than anyone else

Even in the future, I will keep loving you

I’ve waited, come quickly

Wherever we go, we’re coming together

Don’t worry about a thing

Everything will be okay, Hello Future

Meeting you, shining brighter together, yeah yeah

Hey, we’re rising higher, on our way up

Let’s keep building beautiful moments, yeah

We’re going way up, moving upward

Hey, I’m trying to center myself, hey where’s your center?

Can I walk without wobbling, can I go forward?

Too many cynics, entropy gone backwards

Somewhere waiting for you

Open your eyes, it’s not far

All I wanted was you, we’re on our way up

Remains of fragile warmth in burnt-out ashes, ready to strike back

Peace isn’t far, I just hoped and wished for the painful times to be short

Who will you believe?

I've waited, come quickly

Wherever we go, we’re coming together

Don’t worry about a thing

Everything will be okay, Hello Future

Meeting you, shining brighter together, yeah yeah

Hey, we’re rising higher, on our way up

Let’s keep building beautiful moments, yeah

We’re going way up, moving upward

We’re going way up

Stay by my side

Only you are my future

Just keep looking at the stars

I’ve waited for you

Hello Future

[Korean]

Big dreams and big thrills

Flying high 터무니없는 상상해봐

네 눈앞에 달려들고 있는 별

낚아 채 불을 태워 봐

시작이라는 걸 넌 믿을 수 있겠니?

이제야 사랑을 알 것 같아

Ready or not 가는 거야 나를 믿어

Soldiers knocking doors down yelling out

전쟁 전쟁 같던 시간들은 모두 뒤로 보내 가슴이 소리치네

달려가 날아 봐

If you're rocking with me oh oh

Here we go here we go satellite radio

내 미래에 전해 줘

온 세상과 저 광야 위로

On our way up Hello Future

Ey 미래의 너를 조우하게 됐어

경계 위로 손을 맞대면 우린 너무 닮아 있어

뭘 더 찾게 될지 결국 웃게 될지

지금부턴 운명이라고 해

Fire fire 자욱한 연기 속에 살아남은 키 작은 꽃처럼

같은 시간 속에 너를 사랑하고 있어

Here we go here we go 날개를 펼치고

멀지 않아 눈을 떠 봐

내가 원한 모든 건 너뿐이라고 we're on our way up

타 버린 채 여린 온기의 남은 잿더미 속에 ready to clap back

그리 멀지 않은 peace 아픈 시간이 다만 짧기를 바라고 또 원했지
