[English]

We chase the dream in our hearts together

We try to hold the sun in our hands

We smile at how time can be so unpredictable

And we stay each other's steadfast light

We can't remember how many winds and waves we've crossed

I'll be your oar; you’re my wings

We remember how young and naive we looked

Proud faces, ice-window panes that light can't melt

It's you, it's you

The youth behind us is all you

You've painted my mountains and streams

For me, the next torrential downpour

Wash away the mud and wake my true self

It's you, it's you

Plant a forest full of courage

Brush away the loneliness on the cloak

Let me become a flying fish, leaping out of the sea

To touch a miracle

We chase the dream in our hearts together

We try to hold the sun in our hands

We smile at how time can be so unpredictable

And we stay each other's steadfast light

We can't remember how many winds and waves we've crossed

I'll be your oar; you are my wings

We remember how young and naive we looked

Proud faces, ice-window panes that light can't melt

It's you, it's you

The youth behind us is all you

You have painted my mountains and streams

For me, the next torrential downpour

Wash away the mud and wake my true self

It's you, it's you

Plant a forest full of courage

Wipe away the loneliness on the cloak

Let me become a flying fish, leaping out of the sea

To touch a miracle

It's you, it's you

The youth behind us is all you

You've painted my mountains and streams

For me, the next torrential downpour

Wash away the mud and wake my true self

It's you, it's you

Plant a forest full of courage

Wipe away the loneliness on the cloak

Let me become a flying fish, leaping out of the sea

To touch a miracle

[Chinese]

我们一同追着心中的梦想

我们试着把太阳放在手掌

我们彼此笑着岁月的无常

也坚定的做着彼此的那束光

记不得曾跨越过多少风和浪

做你的船桨 你是我的翅膀

我们记得对方青涩的模样

满是骄傲的脸庞 是光融不掉的冰花窗

是你 是你

身后的青春都是你

绘成了我的山川流溪

为我下一场倾盆大雨

淋掉泥泞把真的自己叫醒

是你 是你

种下满是勇气森林

把披风上的荒寂抹去

让我变成会飞行的鱼跳出海域

去触摸奇迹

我们一同追着心中的梦想

我们试着把太阳放在手掌

我们彼此笑着岁月的无常

也坚定的做着彼此的那束光

记不得曾跨越过多少风和浪

做你的船桨 你是我的翅膀

我们记得对方青涩的模样

满是骄傲的脸庞 是光融不掉的冰花窗

是你 是你

身后的青春都是你

绘成了我的山川流溪

为我下一场倾盆大雨

淋掉泥泞把真的自己叫醒

是你 是你

种下满是勇气森林

把披风上的荒寂抹去

让我变成会飞行的鱼跳出海域

去触摸奇迹

是你 是你

身后的青春都是你

绘成了我的山川流溪

为我下一场倾盆大雨

淋掉泥泞把真的自己叫醒

是你 是你

种下满是勇气森林

把披风上的荒寂抹去

让我变成会飞行的鱼跳出海域

去触摸奇迹
