Lyrics

Korean
우린 서로 갖춰 시선들을 맞춰 사람 위에 사람 없고 사람 밑에 사람 없어 Let's roll With love With trust With respect Step by step 우린 아직 세상에 무심해 관심이 필요해 우리에겐 변화의 시작은 곧이기에 어쩌면 우리의 몫이기에 목쉬게 외쳐도 소리 없는 아우성 피부로 느끼는 다른 점 정당하게 올라 솜뭉치로 가슴 치며 갸우뚱 세상은 넓고 사람 마음 참 좁다 꼭 같을 필요는 없어도 다른 게 왜 죄일까? 나이를 넘어 성별을 넘어 국경을 넘어 어쩌면 모두의 숙제 같은 것 나부터 깨우쳐 차별 아닌 차이인 것 편견의 피해자 알아야 해 그건 우리인 것 (Please) Hate'll paralyze your mind Gotta see the other side It costs ya nothin' to be kind Not so different, you and I Lookin' for love in a different light Until we find that equal sign Same, 우리가 쉬는 숨들 Same, 우리가 꾸는 꿈들 Same, 삶 속 웃음과 눈물 Same, 다 존중받을 품들 Just a piece to give strength In the puzzle of our hearts It'll all make sense one day So I'm singing For love in this world Come on Let's come together Equality is you and me

English
We have each other, and we make eye contact There is no one above us There is no one under us Let's roll With love With trust With respect Step by step We are still indifferent to the world We need to pay attention The beginning of change is coming soon Maybe it's up to us A cry without a sound even when I cry out loudly What do you feel differently about your skin? We fought our way up fair and square Confused and frustrated Thе world is wide But people havе a very narrow mind It doesn't have to be the same Why is being different a sin? Beyond age Beyond gender Across the borders Maybe it's like homework for everyone Awaken them that it is just a difference Not something to discriminate against Starting with myself You must know that the victims of prejudice Are none other than ourselves (Please) Hate'll paralyze your mind Gotta see the other side It costs ya nothin’ to be kind Not so different you and I Lookin' for love in a different light Until we find that equal sign Same, the breaths we breathe Same, the dreams we dream Same, laughter and tears in life Same, all things to be respected Just a piece to give strength In the puzzle of our hearts It'll all make sense one day So I'm singing For love in this world Come on Let's come together Equality is you and me
