[English]

Smile now

You'll hear a song

No pain or hatred, no blackening, is that okay?

Smile now

If right and wrong exist on this earth

Love is the only true answer

Who would spend a lifetime's hope

Dousing the flames of war in the sky

Still sending aid to the other side

Perhaps the joy of sacrifice

Is much greater gain

Caught in the most beautiful whirlpool

If there’s someone to hold someone

That’s the bud of peace blossoming

If there’s someone to believe in someone

Walk together side by side

Raise your voice together

Someone to forgive someone

That's the pledge of spreading love

The world, let’s not distort it anymore

We can do it

The world I imagine

Will it dissolve all the chaos and turbulence?

This dream

Prepares countless fists to destroy it

Fearless, talk about ideals, don't rush into fights

Who would spend a lifetime’s hope

Adding meaning to life

Those being trampled on grow stronger daily

Those bittersweet stories

Confused but still understand

Keep going till now, still happy

If there’s someone to hold someone

That’s the bud of peace blossoming

If there’s someone to believe in someone

Walk together side by side

Raise your voice together

Someone to forgive someone

That's the pledge of spreading love

The world, let’s not distort it anymore

Heartfelt thanks for valuing me

Never hated or nitpicking at me

All these are worth the encounter

Heartfelt thanks for attacking me

Teaching me the value of being hurt

A big thank you, I really miss you

With love, resisting guns and swords, risking under blades

No one rejects revenge—let’s make it perfect

If there’s someone to hold someone

That’s the bud of peace blossoming

If there’s someone to believe in someone

Walk together side by side

Raise your voice together

Someone to forgive someone

That's the pledge of spreading love

The world, let’s not distort it anymore

If there’s someone more than someone else

Plant the bud of peace blossoming now

If there’s someone more than someone else

Walk together side by side

Raise your voice together

Someone more than someone else

Gather energy to speak for your dreams

The world, let’s not distort it anymore

If there’s someone more than someone else

Walk together side by side

Someone more than someone else

Walk together side by side

Raise your voice together

Someone more than someone else

Gather energy to speak for your dreams

With you here, I have no fear

[Chinese]

微笑吧

你將聽到一闕歌

無痛恨 不抹黑 樂意麼

微笑吧

若地球上有對錯這樣多

唯愛是 一切的 好答案

誰人願花一生的盼望

吹熄漫天戰火

還為對敵那邊 送贈援助

也許犧牲的快樂

較獲得多很多

捲入最美麗漩渦

若有 一個他 擁抱一個他

這是和平盛世的嫩芽

若有 一個他 相信一個他

結伴同行吧

一起聲沙

一個他 寬恕一個他

這是傳揚大愛的籌碼

世界這樣 不要再醜化

能夠吧

我所想的這世界

可會把紛擾的氣流瓦解

這個夢

預備無限次拳頭來破壞

無畏懼 講理想 不鬥快

誰人願花一生的盼望

給生命添註解

曾被踐踏過的 日漸強大

那些辛酸的故事

困惑即使不解

一直撐到目前 還愉快

若有 一個他 擁抱一個他

這是和平盛世的嫩芽

若有 一個他 相信一個他

結伴同行吧

一起聲沙

一個他 寬恕一個他

這是傳揚大愛的籌碼

世界這樣 不要再醜化

衷心多謝珍惜我的

並未恨過挑剔我的

這些都是不枉遇過的

衷心多謝攻擊我的

告訴我受傷的價值

一聲多謝很想你心領

用愛抵擋槍炮 委身刀劍下

誰亦拒絕報復 這樣完美吧

若有 一個他 擁抱一個他

這是和平盛世的嫩芽

若有 一個他 相信一個他

結伴同行吧

一起聲沙

一個他 寬恕一個他

這是傳揚大愛的籌碼

世界這樣 不要再醜化

若有 一個他 多過一個他

種下和平盛世的嫩芽

若有 一個他 多過一個他

結伴同行吧

一起聲沙

一個他 多過一個他

儲備能量為願望說話

世界這樣 不要再醜化

若有 一個他 多過一個他

結伴同行吧

一個他 多過一個他

結伴同行吧

一起聲沙

一個他 多過一個他

儲備能量為願望說話

我有你在 所以我不怕
