The reality choir
Music is the universal language of mankind.
---Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I will run, I will climb, I will soar, I’m undefeated.
我将奔跑，我将攀爬，我将飞翔,永不言败。
Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord. Yeah, I believe it.
脱离身体的桎梏，拉动琴弦，哦，我相信。
The past, is everything we were don’t make us who we are，
往昔，逝去的光阴不会决定现在,
So I’ll dream, until I make it real, and all I see is stars,
所以我们梦想，直到变成真，看到满天星光，
It’s not until you fall that you fly,
经历跌倒，才能飞翔，
When your dreams come alive you’re unstoppable,
当你的梦想成真，你是不可阻挡，
Take a shot, chase the sun, find the beautiful,
挥着翅膀，追逐太阳，寻找美丽，
We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold,
在黑暗中闪耀点石成金，
And we’ll dream it possible possible. And we’ll dream it possible.
我们会梦想成真，有可能的，我们会梦想成真。
