Fáinne fí i gcoim na hoíche. (Níl) 'tada riamh nach mbíonn thart. Diabhail fhios a'm cá bhfuil deireadh mo scéil Ach táim ar an mbealach ceart.
Deir siad liom gan a dhul sa tseans, Nach dtagann ciall roimh aois. Bhuel 'sé m'aistear é, Ní léir cén fhad a mhairfidh sé, 'Sé togha ar aon chaoi.
So Lig mé saor ón suan 'tá orm. (Tai)speáin 'om bóthar éasca cothrom. Bainfidh mé ceann scríbe amach, sí m'aidhm, Cíbe treo átá i ndán.
(Tá) Mé ag iompar úalach mór an tsaoil Ach níl a'm ach péire lámh. Suile troma is an ghrian a dhul faoi Ach ní chodlaíonn mé go sámh.
"Bris amach agus tú fós sach óg." Chinnigh mé le dul in aghaidh. Seo mo ré, Seasfaidh mé an fód, 'S leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh.
Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize
