[English]

A flock of birds leaves the forest, the whole sky feels so gloomy

The butterflies are no longer drawn, the roses bloom quietly

Distant winds and rains keep pouring, the city feels pale and lonely

Helpless crowds wandering, anxious about when the skies will clear

In stories, only the scenery can be destroyed

No one can destroy our dreams

A shooting star crosses the sky beside the crescent moon

The wish I made—who should I tell?

Meteor traveling through the vast universe

Crystals filling the glittering night sky

Finally, my prayer receives an echo

I believe so much

It's you supporting me behind the scenes

Always walking side by side with me

Looking up, waiting for the sun to rise

Hearing the birds returning

The one waiting for me is you

Giving me firm confidence

Playing the dawn with my hands

Love turns out to be so beautiful

...

[Chinese]

鳥群離開了森林 整座天空很灰心

蝴蝶不再被吸引 玫瑰盛開的很安靜

遠方的風雨不停 城市蒼白而孤寂

徘徊無助的人群 焦慮著何時放晴

故事裡能毀壞的只有風景

誰也摧毀不了我們的夢境

弦月旁的流星劃過了天際

我許下 的願望 該向誰 去說明

隕石在浩瀚的宇宙間旅行

璀璨的夜空裡漫天的水晶

我的禱告終於有了回音

我是如此相信

在背後支撐的是你

一直與我並肩而行

仰望等太陽升起

聽見鳥群回來的聲音

為我守候的人是你

給了我堅定的信心

雙手彈奏出黎明

原來愛如此的動聽

鳥群離開了森林 整座天空很灰心

蝴蝶不再被吸引 玫瑰盛開的很安靜

遠方的風雨不停 城市蒼白而孤寂

徘徊無助的人群 焦慮著何時放晴

故事裡能毀壞的只有風景

誰也摧毀不了我們的夢境

弦月旁的流星劃過了天際

我許下 的願望 該向誰 去說明

隕石在浩瀚的宇宙間旅行

璀璨的夜空裡漫天的水晶

我的禱告終於有了回音

我是如此相信

在背後支撐的是你

一直與我並肩而行

仰望等太陽升起

聽見鳥群回來的聲音

為我守候的人是你

給了我堅定的信心

雙手彈奏出黎明

原來愛如此的動聽

我是如此相信

在背後支撐的是你

一直與我並肩而行

仰望等太陽升起

聽見鳥群回來的聲音

為我守候的人是你

給了我堅定的信心

雙手彈奏出黎明

原來愛如此的動聽
