[English]

Why does the most prosperous city bring the loneliest polar bear?

How does the purest child walk through the dirtiest junkyard?

The most chaotic memories always remind me of the most focused moment

The ugliest world occasionally lets me see the most beautiful poem

...

Turns out the darkest sky always has the most sparkling stars

For the unrecallable, for the unachievable, for you and I who are still alive

Turns out the biggest doubt always has the smallest self

To the butterflies, to the robins, to the flesh and soul, to all living beings

Should I say thank you, or sorry?

...

Is the most violent exile meant to fulfill the gentlest small reunion?

The simplest desire never wants to prove the most absurd great era

...

Turns out the darkest sky always has the most sparkling stars

For the injured, for the mistaken, for you and I who are still alive

Turns out the biggest doubt always has the smallest self

To the loess dust, to the flesh and soul, to all living beings

Should I say thank you, or sorry?

...

Even if the universe is silent, there are always the most sparkling stars

Disappearing one day, born another day, one day forgiving you and me

Turns out the biggest doubt always has the smallest self

To grudges and love, to the flesh and soul, to all living beings

Should I say thank you, and then say sorry?

...

[Chinese]

最繁華的城市為何帶來最寂寞的北極熊

最純潔的孩子如何走過最骯髒的垃圾場

最混亂的回憶永遠讓我想起最專注的一剎那

最醜陋的世界偶然讓我看到最美麗的一首詩

原來最暗的天空總有最閃爍的星星

為喚不回的 為做不到的 為還在活的我和你

原來最大的懷疑總有最渺小的自己

向蝴蝶知更 向肉體靈魂 向芸芸眾生

我該說感謝 還是對不起

最暴烈的流徙難道為了成就最温柔的小團圓

最簡單的渴望從來不想證明最荒謬的大時代

原來最暗的天空總有最閃爍的星星

為受過傷的 為犯過錯的 為還在活的我和你

原來最大的懷疑總有最渺小的自己

向黄土灰塵 向肉體靈魂 向芸芸眾生

我該說感謝 還是對不起

宇宙洪荒再沈默總有最閃爍的星星

某一天消失 某一天誕生 有一天寬恕我和你

原來最大的懷疑總有最渺小的自己

向恩怨愛恨 向肉體靈魂 向芸芸眾生

我該說感謝 再說對不起
