[English]

I see you are in tears

See you discouraged

See you afraid to sleep

The world takes away everything from you

Leaving behind a companionable void

But rejects your rejections

Groping in the dark, longing for but afraid of the light

You're lost, let me take you there

You are never alone

Forever loved

Forever just as beautiful

Struggling with scars, you strong person

Your smile is like the sun

You are never alone

Forever loved

Remember you make eternity unique

The sun, moon, and stars shine because of you

It is you who makes love last forever

If there's a wall too high to climb over

Step on my shoulders

The sky is waiting for you to soar

You can't choose sadness

But you can choose faith

Love is our strength

Looking back, your brave tears

The barren desert will from now on have an ocean

You are never alone

Forever loved

Forever just as beautiful

Struggling with scars, you strong person

Your smile is like the sun

You are never alone

Forever loved

Remember you make eternity unique

The sun, moon, and stars shine because of you

It is you who makes love last forever

You are never alone

Forever loved

Forever just as beautiful

Your kindness radiates light

You let the dark night understand hope

You are never alone

Forever loved

Remember you make eternity unique

The sun, moon, and stars shine because of you

It is you who makes love last forever

[Chinese]

我 看见你在流泪

看见你在气馁

看见你不敢入睡

世界拿走你的一切

留下相伴的缺

却拒绝你的拒绝

摸索黑夜 渴望却害怕光

你迷了路 让我带你前往

你从不是孤单的

永远都被爱着

永远都是 一样美丽

挣扎伤痕 坚强的人

你的微笑 像太阳

你从不是孤单的

永远都被爱着

记得你让永恒独特

日月星辰 因你灿烂

是你让爱 永远都存在

有 翻不过的高墙

踩上我的肩膀

天空等着你翱翔

你无法选择悲伤

却能选择信仰

爱是我们的力量

回头眺望 你勇敢的泪光

荒芜沙漠 从此拥有海洋

你从不是孤单的

永远都被爱着

永远都是 一样美丽

挣扎伤痕 坚强的人

你的微笑 像太阳

你从不是孤单的

永远都被爱着

记得你让永恒独特

日月星辰 因你灿烂

是你让爱 永远都存在

你从不是孤单的

永远都被爱着

永远都是 一样美丽

你的善良 散发光芒

你让黑夜 懂盼望

你从不是孤单的

永远都被爱着

记得你让永恒独特

日月星辰 因你灿烂

是你让爱 永远都存在
