Ah-ah-woah

Ah-ah-woah

Ah-ah-woah

Ah-ah-woah

你決定了有日離開主流

You've decided one day to leave the mainstream

捱些孤單為了自由

Endure some loneliness for the sake of freedom

擦過鬧市告別銀色高樓

Passing through the noisy city, saying goodbye to the silver skyscrapers

尋找空隙讓你遨遊

Looking for a gap where you can soar

大世界 有沒有迫你回頭

Does the big world push you to look back

活著是是你多麼的稀有

Living is so rare for you

世上有足夠人球

There are enough people in the world

你要作你的領袖

You need to be your own leader

誰人能鬆開手銬來吧

Who can free themselves from the handcuffs, come on

萬紫千紅你開花了吧

All the colors bloom as you blossom

尋找終點線來吧

Come find the finish line

地方天圓你找到了嗎

Have you found the place where the sky is round

(Woah woah)

(Woah woah)

帶上電腦散步羊的草原

Take your laptop, walk across sheep-filled plains

遊蹤筆跡伴你睡眠

Footprints of your travels accompany your sleep

架上墨鏡化無名的天團

Sunglasses on the shelf, transforming into an anonymous band

遲早掌聲在你面前

Sooner or later, applause will be in front of you

大世界有沒有迫你茫然

Does the big world make you feel lost

邁著步獨創出花式衝線

Stride forward to create your unique finish line

世上有足夠銅錢

There’s enough money in the world

你要有你的發現

You need to have your own discovery

誰人能鬆開手銬來吧

Who can break free from the handcuffs, come on

萬紫千紅你開花了吧

All the colors bloom as you blossom

尋找終點線來吧

Come find the finish line

地方天圓你找到了嗎

Have you found the place where the sky's round

人生的改變來吧

Come change your life

讓存在昇華你不需似他

Let your existence transcend, there’s no need to be like him

誰要這地球同化

Who wants to assimilate this Earth

離群馬抬頭吧

Stray horses, lift your heads high

成為奇葩可以嗎

Can you become a unicorn?

...

...

誰人能張開手臂來吧

Who can open their arms wide, come on

萬紫千紅你挑選了嗎

Have you chosen from all the vibrant colors?

尋找終點線來吧

Come find the finish line

地方天圓有各種分岔

The place where the sky is round, with many forks in the road

人生的改變來吧

Come change your life

獨一光環你不需似他

Your unique halo, you don’t need to be like him

誰要這地球同化

Who wants to assimilate this Earth

離群馬抬頭吧

Stray horses, lift your heads high

...

...
