[English]

A single rose surrounded by thorns

Maybe it also longs to be held

Dolphins always wear a smile

Perhaps tears are washed away by the ocean

Hidden so no one knows if we're happy or struggling

Good or bad, buried in outward pride

Actually, I want

A beautiful dream I can't sleep through

A heartbeat that races wildly

Break down barriers, never fall, run forward, rely on

The thing I want most in my heart

To see the waves you've seen

Keep you wild in your youth

You can find the cure in your eyes

A trace of the universe

Greatness isn’t just luck

My hand is held firmly

Maybe I am very small

But I will never run away

...

Stars shine brightly at night

Maybe it’s their last blaze

Migratory birds fly freely high

Maybe it’s a symbol of wandering

But who knows, we’ve endured hardships

Guarding our pride with polite defenses

Actually, I want

A beautiful dream I can't sleep through

A heartbeat that races wildly

Break down barriers, never fall, run forward, rely on

The thing I want most in my heart

To see the waves you've seen

Keep you wild in your youth

You can find the cure in your eyes

A trace of the universe

Greatness isn’t just luck

My hand is held firmly

Maybe I am very small

But before that, I want

To hold you in the rushing crowd

Understand every tear and smile of yours

Find beauty in your stories

Effort will not be wasted

Love isn't just luck

Our hands are held tightly

Even if we are tiny

We will never run

Hold hands tightly

How small I am

I can still do it

...

[Chinese]

一朵玫瑰被刺圍繞

也許它也渴望擁抱

海豚臉上總有微笑

也許淚被大海洗掉

是不讓人知道 你我幸福或難熬

好或糟 藏進外表的孤傲

其實我想要

一種美夢睡不著

一種心臟的狂跳

瓦解界線不被撂倒 奔跑 依靠

我心中最想要

看你看過的浪潮

陪你放肆的年少

從你眼神能找到 解藥

宇宙一絲一毫

偉大並非湊巧

我握的手握好

我或許很渺小

也絕不逃

夜晚星辰高調閃耀

也許是最後的燃燒

候鳥能自由飛得高

也許是流浪的符號

可是誰又知道 你我曾有過煎熬

把客套 捍衛僅有的驕傲

其實我想要

一種美夢睡不著

一種心臟的狂跳

瓦解界線不被撂倒 奔跑 依靠

我心中最想要

看你看過的浪潮

陪你放肆的年少

從你眼神能找到 解藥

宇宙一絲一毫

偉大並非湊巧

我握的手握好

我或許很渺小

那之前我要

抱你在逆流人潮

懂你每個淚和笑

從你故事中找到 美妙

努力不會徒勞

愛並非湊巧

我們握的手握好

我們就算很渺小

也絕不逃

握的手握好

我有多渺小

也做得到
