The blowing wind never hesitates to blow,
When you have dreams, pay no mind to obstacles.
The spinning earth will never forget you,
After all, the day dawns just for you.
Oh, a brand new morning
Peeks into the heart,
Wake up, my life.
Oh, today, take my tomorrow,
Hold it in your hands,
And spread open your wings.
Oh ho oh oh oh
Ho oh oh ho oh oh
Little by little, bit by bit, life
Piles on heavy burdens.
As the sky keeps dawning on and on,
Deep longings strike us.
As the days fly, fly, fly,
Fly, fly, fly away,
Desires keep waiting.
As you talk, talk, talk,
Talk and talk,
Hope begins to bloom.
If I wake up beside you tomorrow,
A brand new path will open up.
Oh, a brand new morning
Peeks into the heart,
Wake up, my life.
Oh ho oh oh oh
Ho oh oh ho oh oh
