[English]

This road is so long, time pushes us to grow up

Many things I can't say, only hiding them with wine and laughter

This world, is it big or small?

How much disappointment can one life hold?

How much hope can a person carry?

I most hope for a pair of wings

That can carry me away from this city wall, so we’re all the same

Unstoppable in our desire for dreams

Then take a brave step and go all out again

Tomorrow will be fine

Tomorrow, I’ll be fine

Tomorrow, we’ll be fine

...

The light in the night, placed in our hearts, asking and answering ourselves

Sorry, I was so foolish, it’s not just an angry word

Together again, through thick and thin

How many wishes can a life hold?

...

I most hope for a pair of wings

That can carry me away from this city wall, so we’re all the same

Unstoppable in our desire for dreams

Then take a brave step and go all out again

Tomorrow will be fine

Tomorrow, I’ll be fine

Tomorrow, we’ll be fine

The light shining through the clouds, falling upon the world

This is the belief we proclaim

...

I most hope for a pair of wings

That can carry me away from this city wall, so we’re all the same

Unstoppable in our desire for dreams

Then take a brave step and go all out again

Tomorrow will be fine

Tomorrow, I’ll be fine

Tomorrow, we’ll be fine

...

[Chinese]

這條路 好漫長 時光逼著我們長大

好多話 不能講 只有把酒言歡地藏

這世界 說大不大

一生能有多少的失望

一人能裝多少的希望

我最盼望有一雙翅膀

能夠帶我飛離這城牆 讓我們 都一樣

停不了對夢想的渴望

那就放膽一搏再去闖一闖

Tomorrow will be fine.

Tomorrow I'll be fine.

Tomorrow we'll be fine.

黑夜裡 的亮光 放在心裡自問自答

對不起 我好傻 並不只是一句氣話

再一起 地老天荒

一生能有多少個願望

我最盼望有一雙翅膀

能夠帶我飛離這城牆 讓我們 都一樣

停不了對夢想的渴望

那就放膽一搏再去闖一闖

Tomorrow will be fine.

Tomorrow I'll be fine.

Tomorrow we'll be fine.

穿過雲間的光照在人間

這是我們宣告的信念

我最盼望有一雙翅膀

能夠帶我飛離這城牆 讓我們 都一樣

停不了對夢想的渴望

那就放膽一搏再去闖一闖

Tomorrow will be fine.

Tomorrow I'll be fine.

Tomorrow we'll be fine.
