    This song has greatly inspired me. When I think about the things of this world that make me depressed, this song uplifts me, reminding me of a brighter future that can always make things better.

    This very moment, I am broken out in song, and want to share this one with all who care to listen. It's kind of the Chinese equivalent of Michael Jackson's "We Are the World." (What's funny is, this song was also written and sang in 1985. And, like "We Are the World", famous artists from around the country gathered to perform this song.) Enjoy! :slight_smile:


    明天會更好 ("Tomorrow Will be Better")
    [youtube]x5kIWvvuKT4[/youtube]​

    Young sleeping soul, open your eyes,
    See this world of turmoil suffering alone.
    The spring breeze is blowing against you, innocent one,
    Let us remember yesterday with tears that it will dry.

    See as the wings of birds rise and fly away,
    Reminding us of something once told: mercilous drought brought on the war
    As the jaded snow falls, you burn,
    So let us melt it with a song of blessing from the distance!

    Refrain - Sing out with passion! Reach far with your hands!
    Let me join you in your dreams!
    I have not forsaken your desperate face!
    Let us smile with pride of adolescence,
    Giving prayers for a better tomorrow.

    What child could forget where he or she's come from?
    Who can bear to see his or her smile from yesterday being deprived?
    He or she is injured and sees the surrounding ashes,
    Anything can be gone long, but not the remaining air-dried tears.

    Refrain - Sing out with passion! Reach far with your hands!
    Let me join you in your dreams!
    I have not forsaken your desperate face!
    Let us smile with pride of adolescence,
    Giving prayers for a better tomorrow.

    Young sleeping soul, open your eyes,
    Look, this world of turmoil is suffering alone!
    However, we'll wake up early at dawn to see the glorious rebirth of the Earth,
    And the rushing wind will blow her healed life filled with music!

    Refrain - Sing out with passion! Reach far with your hands!
    Let me join you in your dreams!
    I have not forsaken your desperate face!
    Let us smile with pride of adolescence,
    For I am confident that tomorrow will be better!

    Lyrics

    You’ve tasted bitter defeat and the sweet success.
    You want it all and you settle for nothing less.
    You’ve tried harder than the rest.
    You’ve become one of the best.
    This is the time you’ll remember for
    All your life.
    Forever friends
    In harmony
    As the whole world joins and sees
    Days of unity and peace.
    Forever through the years
    We’ll hear the cheers.
    Joy and laughter everywhere!
    We’re together here to share
    Forever friends
    You’ll meet all races, see faces you’ve never seen.
    People from parts of the world where you’ve never been.
    And you’ll feel it in your heart
    We spent too much time apart
    This is the time when all dreams of man come alive.
    No matter where we are or go
    No matter what we hope for or know
    No matter how we word our prayer
    There is one dream we share
    One world One Dream
    Forever friends
    In Harmony!
    Forever Friends
    One dream we dream,
    One world we share.
