Sooner than it seems life turns around 我知道转眼间,生命自有出路
And I will be strong 而我也会变坚强

Someone's watching over me 有人在守护著我

Seen that ray of light 看见了那道光
And it's shining on my destiny² 它照亮我的人生
Shining all the time 一直都在
And I won't be afraid 我因此不再害怕
To follow everywhere it's taking me 跟随它的指引
All I know is yesterday is gone 我只知道过去已成往事
And right now I belong 我只属於此刻
Took this moment to my dreams 珍惜当下,实现梦想

So I won't give up 所以我不会放弃
No I won't break down 不会消沉
Sooner than it seems life turns around 我知道转眼间,生命自有出路
