Wo neng kan jian ni de shuang yan tiao wang zhe tian bian
Wu ren jie jiao wu sheng yong bao jing jing de ai zai ran shao

Woo, I can hear your voice
Woo, I can hear you in my mind
Wo xiang qi zui chu ni moyang xiang qi ban bo de shi guang
Ni zai wo shen pang zhong yu bu zai liu lang
Wo xiang qi shu xi de jie dao
Xiang qi shi qu de mei hao
You yi ge di fang zhi you ni he wo zhi dao

Wo de xin tiao ni de wei xiao qiao qiao de gei wo yi kao~woo
Woo, I can hear your voice
Woo, ni shi yong heng de tian tang
Wo xiang qi zui chu ni moyang xiang qi ban bo de shi guang
Ni zai wo shen pang zhong yu bu zai liu lang
Wo xiang qi shu xi de jie dao
Xiang qi shi qu de mei hao
You yi ge di fang zhi you ni he wo zhi dao~woo~woo

Wo xiang qi zui chu ni moyang xiang qi ban bo de shi guang
Ni zai wo shen pang zhong yu bu zai liu lang
Wo xiang qi shu xi de jie dao
Xiang qi shi qu de mei hao




You yi ge di fang zhi you ni he wo zhi dao~
Wo zhi dao zhi you wo men zhi dao~

@honeyminteastirred3371

i now understand what Kris meant when he said he was the main vocalist in EXO happy camp. and now I regret laughing. he really is the main singer. โ™ก Im sorry Kris, I love you gege ๆˆ‘็ˆฑไฝ ใ€‚

@TheSilentViridianFla

Gegeโ€ฆ you deserve the whole world right now. You were blessed with such talent and I'm so sorry that SM couldn't even tap into half of it. This is so beautiful, you're beautiful, and I hope that you know that as your fans, we'll always be here to support you and to help you keep going as an artist and as an even better man. SM screwed up so much before you even came to EXO.

@alyannamanliguez524

damn I cried a lot he just hadย a beautiful voice that other fans think that's not his best.ย his dream was to fly to his fans till he can't. for me too I can't fly also because there still soaked , for him I believed that he can fly to his fans full grown feathers and love to his fans all around the world. I've always wished also on my birthday that I see him soon smiling again no suffering just filled with happiness when I see him.

@marionpalmero5686

if only SM recognized his talents the China line could have had a beautiful sub unit. SM screwed up so many times already with past amazing artists and they still didn't learn from those ๐Ÿ˜ง
Miss this dorky Galaxy with the boys....but at least now he can truly do what he's always wanted to do.

@foreverdaisy2954

Truly beautiful, We miss you Kris. We have you always deep in our hearts, and were sorry if we didn't show our appreciation as much as we could've. You were very loyal, kind hearted and just amazing to us all, Please live a very happy and fulfilling life. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’—
