Lyrics for Tomorrow Will Be Better
明天會更好 輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈 慢慢張開你的眼睛 看看忙碌的世界 是否依然孤獨地轉個不停 春風不解風情 吹動少年的心 讓昨日臉上的淚痕隨記憶風乾了 抬頭尋找天空的翅膀 候鳥出現它的影跡 帶來遠處的飢荒無情的戰火 依然存在的消息 玉山白雪飄零 燃燒少年的心 讓真情溶化成音符 傾訴遙遠的祝福 唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手 讓我擁抱你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的臉孔 讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲 為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱 ********************************** 唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手 讓我擁抱你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的臉孔 讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲Continue reading “Lyrics for Tomorrow Will Be Better”
