[English]

Shall it all be sung, be done like this

Behind your heart

The moment it took root

Spreading out deep

Can you hear this song, uh huh

Above the dark world

Glitter is pouring down

I am witnessing it

That it’s undoubtedly a miracle

Keep on running

Don't be afraid of the danger

(Ignite the spark you’ve kept inside)

Recite everything you’ve wanted with me

(So that it can burn even in the rain)

Now, look at me now

Look at me now

Whatever you wish for will come true

Look at me now

Shine like my crown, boldly all the way

La la la la love flame

Wi-wi-win it my way

I have nothing to fear

I’ll show you something new

La la la la love flame

Wi-wi-win it my way

It’s okay to dream even bigger dreams

They eventually become reality

Push away the hands that hold you back

Unfold the dreams you’ve been shrinking from

A flower blooming even in the mud

I’m a bird that flies even with torn wings, like

1, 2, 3

Follow me, come with me

Even if it shakes and breaks, then finally

So go ahead baby

Keep on running

Don't be afraid of the danger

(Ignite the spark you’ve kept inside)

Recite everything you’ve wanted with me

(So that it can burn even in the rain)

Now, look at me now

Look at me now

Whatever you wish for will come true

Look at me now

Shine like my crown, boldly all the way

oh, look at me, look at me

Close your eyes and take my hand

I’ll show you everything, so come closer

I got fire in my eyes

Look straight ahead

La la la love flame

The one who lit the fire

The one who holds the destiny

La la la love flame

Is in your hands

La la la love flame

Wi-wi-win it my way

In the scattering light and bubbles

I want to dance all night long

La la la la love flame

Wi-wi-win it my way

End the long wait

Finally, in our own way

oh, look at me, look at me

oh, look at you, look at you

[Korean]

"Shall it all be sung, be done like this"

너의 심장 뒤에

뿌리내린 순간

뻗어나가 깊게

이 노래가 들리니 uh huh

어두운 세상 위에

쏟아지는 Glitter

목격하고 있어

기적이 틀림없는 것

Keep on running

위험을 겁내지 마

(간직해왔던 불꽃을 일으켜)

원한 모든 걸 나와 읊조려봐

(빗속에서도 타오를 수 있게)

Now, look at me now

Look at me now

원하면 뭐든 이뤄지리라

Look at me now

Shine like my crown 과감히 All the way

La la la la love flame

Wi -wi -win it my way

두려울 게 없어 내겐

새로운 걸 보여줄게

La la la la love flame

Wi -wi -win it my way

꿈을 더 꿈꿔봐도 돼

끝내 현실이 돼

발목 잡은 손을 밀쳐내

움츠렸던 꿈을 펼쳐내

진흙 속에서도 피는 꽃

찢긴 날개로도 나는 Bird like

1, 2, 3

나를 따라 Come with me

흔들리고 부서져도 Then finally

So go ahead baby

Keep on running

위험을 겁내지 마

(간직해왔던 불꽃을 일으켜)

원한 모든 걸 나와 읊조려봐

(빗속에서도 타오를 수 있게)

Now, look at me now

Look at me now

원하면 뭐든 이뤄지리라

Look at me now

Shine like my crown 과감히 All the way

oh, look at me, look at me

눈을 감고 손을 잡아

다 보여줄 테니 더 가까이 와

I got fire in my eyes

더 똑바로 봐

La la la love flame

불을 지핀 건

운명을 쥔 건

La la la love flame

네 손에

La la la love flame

Wi -wi -win it my way

흩날리는 빛, 방울에

밤새도록 춤을 출래

La la la la love flame

Wi -wi -win it my way

오랜 기다림을 끝내

마침내 우리답게

oh, look at me, look at me

oh, look at you, look at you
