Awakening (I)

To touch a star
From the bottom of my heart.
To get rid of a sinful origin and past
To stand on a new past.
When stars shed tears,
My heart was full of songs,
Commemorating a day
When my sins were washed
And my soul got eternal rest.

To touch a star
To please God
My heart sings
A new song for coming years.

Awakening (II)

To touch a star
To get a new start
To sail from a hurt past
And stand on a new present,
Watching stars shedding tears,
My heart is full of songs,
Riding on the wings of the past,
I will fly to a place
Where angels sing songs.
Little lamb, my Lord came,
Leading me to fly
And realize my dream.
