Lyrics by Principal Lin (XiaDongPu School principal)
如果真的有那么一个人
If there really were such a person
如果真的存在过那些事
If such a thing really existed
如果你会相信那些传说
If you could believe this legend
遥远的记忆萌发新的理想
Far away memories springing a new ideal
一点光辉可以在旷野上
A slight radiance can be found in the wilderness
指引无数的追寻
Pointing the way to countless pursuits
如果真的有这么一群人
If there really were such a group of people
如果真的发生了那些事
If something like this really happened
那么这些事都将变成传说
Then this will surely become legend
不同的面孔共同的信念
Different faces but shared convictions
一生执着只因在眼睛里
A life’s pursuits only caused by the many cravings
看到太多的渴求
in one’s eye
没有那么多的枷锁
Without shackles
没有只是叹息而已
Not merely sighing (but also acting, also doing)
你的脚步你的坚持
Your footsteps and perseverance
解放了多少愚昧的阻隔
Have liberated so many ignorant people from isolation
创造了一个又一个传说
And have created one legend after another
