谁在追? 让你我跑得狼狈
Who’s chasing? Leaving us both in a mess
谁的嘴? 把你我咬得自卑
Whose words? Make us feel so small and less
谁判的罪? 让你我一直羞愧 (羞愧)
Who’s judging us? Keeping us wrapped in shame (shame)
别后退 是时候挺直脊椎
Don’t retreat, it’s time to stand up tall
别理会 谁张牙舞爪乱吠?
Who cares about those barking and clawing at all?
问心无愧 把谎言全都击碎 (击碎)
With a clear heart, let’s shatter all the lies (shatter)
决不能心灰
We must not lose hope
他们有一天会惭愧
One day, they’ll feel their own disgrace
我们天生像珍珠贝 高贵 (高贵)
We’re born like pearls, so noble (noble)
曾被压榨的 (now walk on water)
Once oppressed (now walk on water)
曾被吓怕的 (together walk on water)
Once scared and timid (together walk on water)
曾被强迫的 曾被抢夺的
Once forced and taken away,
(Just walk on water, just walk on water)
曾被误解的 (now walk on water)
Once misunderstood (now walk on water)
曾被污蔑的 (together walk on water)
Once slandered (together walk on water)
曾被孤立的 曾被忽视的
Once isolated and ignored,
(Just walk on water, just walk on water)
(Just walk on water)
都见惯太多人欺负善意
Too many have grown used to the bullying of kindness,
不就范就会被说成叛逆
If you don't comply, they'll call you rebellious.
别再退让 告别懦弱的自己 (自己)
No more retreating, say goodbye to the coward within (within)
绝不能失望 (绝不能失望)
We must never lose hope (we must never lose hope)
过去的痛只是短暂 (痛只是短暂)
The pain of the past is just fleeting (pain is just fleeting)
此刻让你我都勇敢 作战 (作战)
This moment lets us both be brave and fight (and fight)
曾被压榨的 (now walk on water)
Once oppressed (now walk on water)
曾被吓怕的 (together walk on water)
Once frightened (together walk on water)
曾被强迫的 曾被抢夺的
Once forced, once robbed
(Just walk on water, just walk on water)
曾被误解的 (now walk on water)
Once misunderstood (now walk on water)
曾被污蔑的 (together walk on water)
Once slandered (together walk on water)
曾被孤立的 曾被忽视的
Once isolated, once overlooked
(Just walk on water, just walk on water)
上帝让你我经历坎坷
God led us through the trials
只为把珍贵的玉雕刻
Just to carve the precious jade
那最后的胜利是我们的
That final victory is ours
是我们的
It is ours
曾被压榨的 (now walk on water)
Once we were oppressed (now walk on water)
Oh 曾被吓怕的 (together walk on water)
Oh, once we were scared (together walk on water)
曾被强迫的 曾被抢夺的
Once forced, once taken away
(Just walk on water, just walk on water) oh
曾被误解的 (now walk on water)
Once misunderstood (now walk on water)
Oh 曾被污蔑的 (together walk on water) hoh
Oh, once slandered (together walk on water) hoh
曾被孤立的 曾被忽视的
Once isolated, once ignored
(Just walk on water) oh, just walk on water
