Don't know how breath take our nature's away
What do you say
Ne gyothe hamke saldon the environment, not to rate
Jayongwa majubodon beryoe choum nukkin nukkim
I don't wanna lose it (yeah) I knew it
(Don't lie)
I think this is the biggest thing of your life
(Realize)
I think this is the biggest gift of your life
The lyrics to DBSK's song "I Wish" are a poignant reminder of the beauty of nature and the importance of cherishing it. The song begins with Changmin's verse, where he expresses his wish to hold the stars that have descended from the sky. He longs to closely examine them and cherish the beauty they embody. Jaejoong, in the second verse, describes the wind as it rushes through the trees and the sense of calm it brings. He also wishes for the ability to embrace the world and heal it. Junsu sings the third verse, where he describes how they exist under the same sky, and they need to celebrate and enjoy it, even amidst the chaos.
The chorus is sung by all the members of the group, with each member adding a layer of sentiment to the overall theme. They want to preserve the beauty of the world and cherish the memories that they make. Yunho's rap verse talks about how the world is filled with wonders and mysteries that can be explored and enjoyed if they take care of it. Yoochun's verse discusses the importance of realizing the gift they've been given by nature and how it should be treasured.
