come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
can we try it?
to live without a guilt
oozing from lackadaisical lull
and to tighten the time to equip
every second by staying awake
filling with diligence in case
we look back with keen eyes
and see it with respect and wise
all of the shortcoming and rise
withstanding all and aim for the prize
allow me to rise
to protect those in waiting
allow me to rise
riding the wave of this time
let me express what I’ve got
allow me to rise
one more day
to see this beautiful fresh sun
breath in freshly made new air
and see this wonderful world
one more day
allow me to rise
보게 하소서
이 아름다운 세상을
하루 더 볼 수 있도록
사랑하는 이들을
지켜줄 수 있도록
제게 힘을 주소서

walking between dream and what reality is
became a coin flip at a whim
a clever mice with a veil over rhino’s eyes
leads it astray an honest one’s mind
but rise again
regardless of shame, regret and pain
rise again and march
march towards a better day
keep your chin up with a humble heart
we’ll see what comes at the end of the day
아무리 집중하기 힘들더라도
주저 앉지 않길 바라
다시 일어나서
더 나은 미래 향해 나아가자.

this isn’t the time to fall asleep
this isn’t a time for a self-pity
it’s time to see the world as it is
and act on what you can change
prepare for what may be hard to change
it’s a trick of the mind you need to see through
when you walk through dark tunnel
under the weight of an ocean
I wish you a safe journey.

It’s hard to describe:
it’s too bright to see
but I feel it is warm
I sense softeness in it
I also see its scorching heat
beyond words, beyond what can be seen
I believe.
it is there.
And I walk into the darkness
with the faith in my heart
and hope it will guide me the way.
it is a leap of faith.

it is alright. it is alright.
it is okay to let those tears fall.
it is okay to feel the pain
grabbing the core of your chest
and let that bawling late at night
when everyone’s asleep.
it’s alright. that’s right.
swim even when you feel numb in your limbs
slowly, slowly, your body will start warm up
and when you raise your head above water
you’ll see how glorious the red yolk of the sun is
rising through the solemn horizon
you’ll see, you’ll see.
it’s gonna be alright.

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste
surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.
if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)
살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.

rise with me once more
into this fight for honor
no one may remember
except for songs of lore
for a man lives once
in flesh and bones
then in memories of others construed
let us soar up to the highest virtue

let us rise again
after the painful fall,
after confusing lull,
and sacrifice from all,
let us rise again
for the day is still bright
for the storm’s brining the fight
let us rise to the challenge
and give all to manage
this trial,
this survival.

should the world call for my name
I shall beckon to its calling again
humbly, it is an honor
to be of help and don the armor
to rise to the occasion
to face challenges with devotion
