[English]

The meaning of this breathless feeling

My relentless beat

An ongoing story

Everyone who has crossed my path

Is living their life

I open my wings

I open my

My soul is fired up, whoa

Falling down, then rising up

All my fears disappear

I've tasted both joy and sorrow

Let's do this, Let's SOAR (Elevation)

It's what I live for (Elevation)

I'm all ready

Leaving nothing behind

I can't stop

I will ascend

It has begun

Stretching out on the path cleared of thorns

Towards where the faint star points

I want to get closer

As if I could reach out and touch it

Into the unknown

Into my destination

In the end, my heart starts racing

Blood doesn't lie

Even the temptation of danger

Was sweet like a dream, Oh

The reddening sunrise

Keep going, keep your head high

Light falls upon our linked shoulders

You're on a new course

Spread your wings and SOAR

Go higher, I want more

Feeling like paradise

Air, Up, Here

It's so beautiful

Makin' my way, makin' my way up

The waves of the gust swirl even harder

I've cast my hesitations away

I'm tuned, now there's no stopping

Yeah yeah

Those who try to grab it will only get hurt

Yeah yeah

Down a path where no one has ever gone

Spread your wings and SOAR

Go higher, I want more

Feeling like paradise

Air, Up, Here

It's so beautiful

Old questions

Have piled up like mountains

But now I want to see beyond them

I've arrived, I got it

Quietly, I'm flying higher

I can see a new horizon

Spread your wings and SOAR

Go higher, I want more

Feeling like paradise (Go even higher)

Air, Up, Skies so crystal clear

I'm not even afraid of falling, SOAR

I am living this life

Riding on the rough winds

Into the tomorrow I've grasped

Takes my breath away

Ey ey

Cause it's so beautiful

...

[Korean]

숨차옴의 의미

쉼 없는 내 Beat

계속되는 이야기

나를 스친 모든 이

살아가고 있으니

I open my wings

I open my

My soul is fired up, whoa

낙하 그리고 올라

모든 두려움이 사라져

기쁨과 슬픔 맛봤지

해내자 Let's SOAR (Elevation)

It's what I live for (Elevation)

준비 다 됐어

남길 것도 없이

I can't stop

오르겠어

시작된 걸

가시를 걷은 길 위 뻗은

희미한 별 가리킨 곳에

가까워지고파

손에 닿듯 말야

알려지지 않은

My destination 속으로

결국 두근대고 마니

피는 거짓말하지 않지

저 위험의 유혹도

꿈처럼 달콤했어 Oh

붉어진 Sunrise

계속해 Keep your head high

엮인 어깨 위 Light falls

You're on a new course

날개를 펴 SOAR

더 높이 가 I want more

낙원을 느끼며

Air, Up, Here

It's so beautiful

Makin' my way, makin' my way up

돌풍의 Wave 더 휘몰아쳐

주저함을 던져버렸고

I'm tuned 이제 멈춤은 없어

Yeah yeah

잡으려는 자, 그 손 다쳐

Yeah yeah

누구도 가 본 적 없는 길로

날개를 펴 SOAR

더 높이 가 I want more

낙원을 느끼며

Air, Up, Here

It's so beautiful

오래된 질문

산처럼 쌓였지만

이제 난 그 너머를 보고파

다 왔어 I got it

고요하게 I'm flying higher

I can see a new horizon

날개를 펴 SOAR

더 높이 가 I want more

낙원을 느끼며 (더 높이 가)

Air, Up, Skies so crystal clear

떨어짐조차 무섭지 않아 SOAR

난 이 삶을 살고 있어

거친 바람을 타고

움켜쥔 그 내일 속으로

Takes my breath away

Ey ey

Cause it's so beautiful
