[English]

Can't find the way

How to brew it so the world can hear my sharing

Ordinary like me, this kind of girl, my voice isn't strong enough

Whoever shines in their heart, just like the night sky

Stars are densely packed, we can shine together

Following the galaxy's pulse, body language

The Milky Way nourished by love

No one should bear it alone

The struggle of dark loneliness

Let me listen alone on the nebula

I'm dreaming, you're dreaming, immersed in the universe

Gathering in this dimension, creating constellations together

Come, join forces, emit heat and light to create

More planets, the Pleiades, always by my side

Chasing dreams together, hand in hand

Reuniting in the evening sky with bright teammates

Talking, able to express, no more pain

Lollipops, tightly intertwined

In chaotic times, there's still some sweetness hidden behind

I'm dreaming, you're dreaming, immersed in the universe

Gathering in this dimension, creating constellations together

Come, join forces, emit heat and light to create

More planets, the Pleiades, always by my side

Chasing dreams together, hand in hand

Reuniting in the evening sky with bright teammates

Can find the way

How to brew it so the world can hear my sharing

In the mundane world, how many girls of the same era are shouting

I'm not dreaming, you're not dreaming, immersed in the universe

To protect this Earth, together breaking out of fiction

Come, join forces, emit heat and light to create

More planets, the Pleiades, always by my side

Chasing dreams together, hand in hand

The evening sky hangs eight bright stars, still not enough

Can reunite even more silent teammates

...

[Chinese]

找不到路向

如何醞釀 叫世間可聽我分享

平凡像我 這種女孩 聲音未夠鏗鏘

誰心裡璀璨 就如夜空

星羅密佈 可一起閃亮

隨星河帶動脈搏 肢體語言

銀河系 用愛滋養

不可一個 獨承受

漆黑孤單 的爭鬥

讓我 獨個星雲上 來聽候

我在發夢 你在發夢 置身宇宙

這維度裡聚頭 同編出星宿

來 合力 併發出 熱與光 去造就

更多星球 七姊妹 永伴我在旁

齊心追夢 手牽手

晚空重遇數位 明亮的 隊友

講 講得出 再沒難受

波板糖 圈圈緊扣

亂世 尚有些甜蜜 藏背後

我在發夢 你在發夢 置身宇宙

這維度裡聚頭 同編出星宿

來 合力 併發出 熱與光 去造就

更多星球 七姊妹 永伴我在旁

齊心追夢 手牽手

晚空重遇數位 明亮的 隊友

找得到路向

如何醞釀 叫世間可聽我分享

凡塵俗世 多少女孩 同時代 在叫嚷

我沒發夢 你沒發夢 置身宇宙

去維護這地球 同衝出虛構

來 合力 併發出 熱與光 去造就

更多星球 七姊妹 永伴我在旁

齊心追夢 手牽手

晚空懸著八顆 明亮總 未夠

再可團聚更多 沉默的 隊友
