Lyrics
Chinese : 《拥抱生命》
我们走在城市的边缘
曾经留下多少沧桑的脚印
许多愿望都已成云烟
太多汗水也已变得遥远
我们生存在灰色的空间
不眠的夜晚只有星星能看见
虽然生命在不断的凋谢
却换来了城市的天空蔚蓝
孤独的走在城市的路上
多少次欲哭无泪的惆怅
但愿那些破灭的希望
都化作成功之后的回想
English translation: Embrace life
We walk along the outskirts of the city
Leaving footprints of world change
Many wishes have become wisps of smoke
Too much sweat has fallen
Our lives are in a gray space
Sleepless nights have nothing but stars to see
Although life is always withering away
Instead it has made the city’s sky blue
Walking alone on the city street
Wanting to cry without the melancholy of tears
But hope those vanished dreams
Can become memories . . . after we succeed
