It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a storey
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
总得先有一台 才能造出另一台机器
一个楼层则需要两个平台合二为一
孵出鸡前总要有只蛋
蛋的母亲却是一只鸡
我这样说下去 无止无息
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
思想是让语言存在的先导
语言是它化为行动的前驱
还需要外加一点儿努力把它们变成实际
总要有一些美丽让我们懂得伤痛
又要有一些丑陋让我们学会珍惜
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la
生命本来神奇
生命循环不息
生命本来神奇
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
总要捱过长夜才能迎接黎明
却只是迎来白日无趣的光阴
总要有一些衰老来比对你的青春
只有经过凛冽再会体味暖日温馨
得到一件东西 就意味着对另一件的放弃
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
只一秒钟就可以沉溺于爱情
却要用一生去给爱下个定义
正是出于恐惧 才会选择深信
又需要多少眼泪让信仰斑斑锈迹
这些尘埃 让生命历久弥新
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la it is so...
生命本来神奇
生命循环不息
生命本来神奇
它是如此...
It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to show you care
It takes a hole to see the mountain
没有安静就无所谓声音
得到之前都总会有失去
走上一条路 该往何处去
付出代价 才会在意
山峰的高度 是从小坑开始累积
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la it is so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
生命是本来神奇
生命是循环不息
生命是本来神奇
生命有万般意义
它是如此神奇
它是万种奇迹
它是生生不息
