[English]

Sun on my face, sun outside the door.

Feet hitting the floor.

Morning is calling, pulling me out.

Nothing to lose, no room for doubt.

Through the silence, the drum beats.

Laughing like I've just begun.

No destination, just a flame.

No more hiding, no more chains.

I won't stay the same.

Turn it louder, feel the wave.

Let it wash over me, drift away.

I go wild, feel the high. No goodbyes,

just the open sky.

I break free, I'm who I want to be.

Go wild, go wild. Hands high, heart loud.

Go wild, go wild.

Lost, but now I'm found.

Lights on the pavement glowing gold.

Stories we've never told.

A quick little heartbeat racing fast.

Moments we hope will last.

Running through shadows, out of control.

If I trip, I'll laugh it off.

If I'm afraid, I'll shake it off.

No more hiding, no more chains.

I won't stay the same.

Turn it louder, feel the wave.

Let it wash over me, drift away.

I go wild, feel the high. No goodbyes,

just the open sky.

I break free, I'm who I want to be.

Go wild, go wild. Hands high, heart loud.

Go wild, go wild.

Lost, but now I'm found.

Maybe I was meant to run.

Chasing down the setting sun.

Every scar I left behind

turns into a brighter sun.

I go wild, feel the high. No goodbyes,

just the open sky.

I break free, I'm who I want to be.

Go wild, go wild. Hands high, heart loud.

Go wild, go wild.

Lost, but now I'm found.

[Chinese]

Sun on my face, sun out the door. Kicks

and my hands feet on the floor. Morning

is calling, pulling me out. Nothing to

lose, no room for doubt. Went through

the silence, beating drum. Laughing like

I've just begun. No destination, just a

flame. Running ahead of my own name. No

more hiding, no more chains. I won't

stay here in the same. Turn it louder,

feel the wave. Let it wash me, drift

away.

I go wild, feel the high. No goodbye,

just in the sky. I break free, I'm who I

be. No gravity, just you with me. Go

wild, go wild. Hands high, heart loud.

Go wild, go wild.

Lost, but right now found.

Lights on the pavement glowing gold.

Stories we never told. Quick little

heartbeat racing fast. Moments we hope

will last. Running through shadows, no

control. Every second takes its toll. If

I trip, I laugh it off. If I fear, I

shake it off.

No more hiding, no more chains. I won't

stay here in the same. Turn it louder,

feel the wave. Let it wash me, drift

away.

I go wild, feel the high. No goodbye,

just in the sky. I break free, I'm who I

be. No gravity, just you with me.

Go wild, go wild. Hands high, heart

loud. Go wild, go wild. Lost, but right

now found.

>> Maybe I was meant to run.

Chasing down the setting sun.

Every scar I left behind

turns into a brighter sun.

I go wild, feel the high. No goodbye,

just in the sky. I break free, I'm who I

be. No gravity, just you and me.

>> Go wild, go wild. Hands high, heart

loud. Go wild, go wild. Lost but right

now found.
