When I said I do
용기와 믿음, 긍정의 리듬
Always I need it too
When I said I do
미래를 걷는 희망의 걸음
I was, I was, I was, I was
그래, 난 그냥 토박이였잖아 (mm-mm)
I was, I was, I was, I was
춤만 좋아하는 아이였잖아 (mm-mm)
나다워, 다워, 다워, 다워
주어진 삶에 대해 감사하는 (mm-mm)
나다워, 다워, 다워, 다워
지금 가장 적절하고 나다워, 다워
늘 스스로 주체가 되어 싸워
결국 내 마음은 멍투성이잖어
평소에 다른 옷 입듯 try on
좋아하는 운전처럼 한번 순리대로 밟어
내 피가 왜 돌겠어? 왜 움직이겠어?
결국 변화하고 영원한 건 없잖아 (ayy)
You know, we know, I know
강을 거슬러 오르는 연어가 될 수 없단 걸
Always I need it too
When I said I do
용기와 믿음, 긍정의 리듬
Always I need it too (I need too)
When I said I do
미래를 걷는 희망의 걸음 (go!)
(Future)
그저 내 스스로 정할 수도, 단정할 수도 없는 것 (future)
다가올수록 무섭기도, 홀로 버티기도 버거운 것 (future)
Man, you must go with the flow
그저 흐르는 대로 가보자고 (future)
필요해 보여 나에게도 용기와 믿음으로 희망에 건 (future)
(나난나난나-난나난나)
(나난나난나-나난나난나)
(Future)
(나난나난나-난나난나)
(나난나난나-나난나난나)
(Future)
그저 내 스스로 정할 수도, 단정할 수도 없는 것 (future)
다가올수록 무섭기도, 홀로 버티기도 버거운 것 (future)
Man, you must go with the flow
흐르는 대로 가보자고 (future)
필요해 보여 나에게도 용기와 믿음으로 희망에 건
