Deep within my chest, I carry A green apple that brings tears to my eyes. Falling over, (even if I get hurt) Pretending to be strong, I glare at the restrictive sky.
I’m not going to just wait obediently For destiny to ripen it.
Let a thousand winds (I struggle,) Blow and blow. (I scream,) I am (But even so,) A soap bubble. (I believe.) I stand and fight (I rise up) In the face of (And come down,) The unexpected storm, (But even so,) A soap bubble. (I live on.) The moment I burst, I’ll release a rainbow.
Earnestly (in spite of the pain) Water The cracked seed of the dream; Kick to pieces (while you tremble) Your indecision; And one day, take hold of the sky. Do you really think I’ll just behave And bloom in someone else’s flower bed?
Gazing (I’m about to fall,) At the sun, (About to break,) I am (But even so,) A wild flower. (I won’t stop.) Blooming (I’m being toyed with,) On a cliff, (In disarray,) A nameless (But even so,) Wild flower. (I won’t lose.) I want to be picked While I’m beautiful.
(I’m not afraid.) (That isn’t a lie.) (But still…)
If the apple of my heart Will split apart, let it be green.
Let a thousand winds (I struggle,) Blow and blow. (I scream,) I am (But even so,) A soap bubble. (I believe.) I stand and fight (I rise up) In the face of (And come down,) The unexpected storm, (But even so,) A soap bubble. (I live on.) The moment I burst, I’ll release a rainbow.
