[English]

Child, don't fear the thorns

Barefoot, you'll find something precious

Look at how beautiful the fireworks are in this dark sky

No need for too much sorrow

Everyone blooms and withers over time

Yet even rocks and cliffs can bloom with flowers

Part the mountain ridges and let her see me

Tell the shining stars to light me up faster

Blow away the gloom with a touch of blue

Even if the world is barren, we can look up and see the moon

While we are still children

Be a lone flower that still blooms among thousands

No more worries or sorrow, oh-oh-oh

Don't forget

Even if tears fall, keep running

Run so fast that even time can't catch you

Be like a bird flying in the sky, oh-oh-oh-oh

...

Part the mountain ridges and let her see me

Tell the shining stars to light me up faster

Blow away the gloom with a touch of blue

Even if the world is barren, we can look up and see the moon

While we are still children

Be a lone flower that still blooms among thousands

No more worries or sorrow, oh-oh-oh

Don't forget

Even if tears fall, keep running

Run so fast that even time can't find you

Be like a bird soaring in the sky, oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't keep searching anymore

Give me a hug

And quietly forget everything

I'm perfectly fine like this

...

[Chinese]

孩子 別怕荊棘

赤著腳就能尋到珍貴

你看這個天黑 焰火有多美

無需太多的傷悲

人本都在茂盛枯萎

但頑石和塊壘也開花蕊

撥開山嶺 讓她看看我

告訴繁星 快些照亮我

吹散烏雲 用一抹藍色

那就算世界滿是荒蕪 我們抬頭就能看見月亮

在我們還是孩子的模樣

做雖千萬人也要盛開的孤芳

別再憂傷煩惱 oh-oh-oh

別忘

就算流淚 也要一直奔跑

跑到連時間都找不到

做天邊的飛鳥 oh-oh-oh-oh

撥開山嶺 讓她看看我

告訴繁星 快些照亮我

吹散烏雲 用一抹藍色

那就算世界滿是荒蕪 我們抬頭就能看見月亮

在我們還是孩子的模樣

做雖千萬人也要盛開的孤芳

別再憂傷煩惱 oh-oh-oh

別忘

就算流淚 也要一直奔跑

跑到連時間都找不到

做天邊的飛鳥 oh-oh-oh-oh

別再尋找

給我一個擁抱

就安靜地忘掉

我這樣就很好
