One moment's pause
暫停片刻
One moments retreat
退縮片刻
Away from the heat....
遠離炎熱
The silent surroundings
周遭寂靜的環境
The black of the predawn sky
黎明前黑暗的天空
The chilled air of night
夜晚的冷空氣
All give meaning to the sunrise
都給日出賦予了含義
Without darkness
沒有黑暗
What would we know of light?
我們怎麼知道光明
Day turns to night, turns to day
白天變成了黑夜，變成白天
A cycle that rules our lives
循環統治著我們的生活

當白晝到來時
When the daylight arrives

Sometimes we get blown off track
有時候，我們會偏離軌道，走一些彎路
Sometimes we get blown ahead
有時候，我們會勇往直前
Life's declines precede life's highs
在人生的高峰前會是人生的低谷
Like the lines on a biorhythmic chart
就像生物節律圖上的線條一樣
Between the lows the beauty lies

By fate's implacable hands
來自命運之手的殘酷打擊
Changing the future - changing our goals

Laying waste to all of our plans
破壞了我們所有的計劃
No promises, no guarantees
樂觀的生活
Of a rose-colored existence
沒有承諾也沒有保證
Progress comes slowly - always met with
進展緩慢
A measure of ruthless resistance
總是會遇到無情的抵抗
Whether it's the pleasure of success
無論是成功的喜悅
Or the pain of rejection
還是被拒絕的痛苦
Life doesn't travel just one way
人生不只有
In either direction
一個方向的一條路
Solo

Two steps forward, one step back

Bitter cold December
嚴寒的12月
Spirits - and time - seem as frozen
靈魂和時間，彷彿被凍結
As the icy ground
凍結在冰冷的地面上
But time will soon fall
但時間很快就會過去
And march inevitably ahead
不可避免地向前邁進
The world keeps spinning on
世界一直在旋轉
Seasons come, seasons go
季節交替，滄桑變化
As we helplessly watch them fly by
我們無奈地看著它們從眼前飛過
But life has cycles we can control
但生命有周期，我們可以控制
In our own hands our destinies lie
我們的命運掌握在自己手中
Life's declines precede life's highs
在人生的高峰前會是人生的低谷
Like the lines on a biorhythmic chart

Between the lows the beauty lies
在低谷之間藏著美麗
Don't take your failure to heart
不要把失敗放在心上
