[English]

Everything feels dark and cold

Hard, as if it could never be broken

I don't even know where I am

Or who I'm supposed to become

I just don't know

Maybe I'm just a pebble

Rolling around all day

Withering through an exhausting day

The following rain clouds soak into me

Even if I tremble, I reach my hand out

The act of living

Is beautiful, even if it's difficult

Whether it's me or them

Whether it's you or us

I hope we bloom into the flowers we've always dreamed of

(Hope we bloom)

Following the unique person that is you

...

I wish someone would interfere

And tell me where I'm going

And who I should become

I think I'm starting to know

That this trembling feeling

In a world with no set path, is what it means to breathe

Maybe I'm actually a gemstone

Even if it feels suffocating at times

I feel like I shine every now and then

Looking at how I roll

In a gentle breeze

I think I'm still a bit small

But the act of living

Is beautiful, even if it's difficult

Whether it's me or them

Whether it's you or us

I hope we bloom into the flowers we've always dreamed of

(Hope we bloom)

Following the unique person that is you

...

I know I'm far from sparkling

True, I don't exactly catch anyone's eye

But look, it's just a little further now

The endless stars I've held inside

Are bursting and pouring out

Live on

Me and them

You and us

I hope we bloom into the flowers we've always dreamed of

(Hope we bloom)

Following the unique person that is you

Following

Following

Following

Following the unique person that is you

...

[Korean]

뭔가 어둡고 차가워

깨뜨리지 못할 것처럼 단단해

어딘지도 몰라

내가 뭐가 돼야 하는 건지도

난 모르고

나는 그저 돌멩이려나

종일 구르다가

지치는 하루에 말라

따라온 비구름이 몸에 젖어 들어

떨려와도 손을 뻗어내며

살아가는 건

어려도 아름다워

나나 쟤네나

너나 우리나

꼭 바라왔던 꽃으로 피워내길

(피워내길)

너라는 하나 따라

누가 참견해 줬음 해

내가 어디로 가

어떻게 되어야 하는지

알 것 같아

정해진 길이 없는

이 떨려오는 기분이 숨이구나

어쩌면 나는 보석이려나

가끔 답답해도

한 번씩 빛나는 듯해

세지 않은 바람에

구르는 걸 보면

아직은 좀 작은 것 같지만

살아가는 건

어려도 아름다워

나나 쟤네나

너나 우리나

꼭 바라왔던 꽃으로 피워내길

(피워내길)

너라는 하나 따라

알아 난 반짝임이랑 멀어

맞아 난 눈길에 밟히지 않아

봐봐 앞으로 조금이야

내가 담은 끝없는 별이

터져 쏟아져 나와

살아내

나랑 쟤네랑

너랑 우리랑

꼭 바라왔던 꽃으로 피워내길

(피워내길)

너라는 하나 따라

따라

따라

따라

너라는 하나 따라
