歌詞：

2009年的夏天 天空裂了開來
無情的狂風暴雨 如千軍萬馬向我們襲擊而來

命中注定的悲哀 無可避免的災害
地裂天崩 讓我們許多同胞受害

是否就這樣放棄希望 順從老天沒有道理的安排
人人手中一小片關懷 就能讓我們福爾摩沙再度活起來

把愛 傳出來
把心 打開來
把心中的感慨 化成行動做出來
讓心裡的掛念變成翅膀飛出來

把愛 傳出來
把話 說出來
打破冰冷的那道牆 把冷漠趕出胸懷
將心裡的祈禱傳到每個大人小孩

Verse:
It is the summer of 2009, when the sky starts to cry.
Merciless tempest came to us like unstoppable military force.
It is the destiny that brings us the unavoidable disaster.
Our Taiwan people suffer from the order of the nature.

Pre-chorus:
Are we going to give up, follow the non-sense arrangement played by the God?
The Formosa will be revived once everyone unites with for help

Chorus:
Let’s spread the love.
Let’s open the heart.
Turning the caring thoughts we have into actions.
Let it go, like the wings of a bird, with all we are concerned in our heart.
Let’s spread the love.
Let’s speak out what hides in our mind.
Breaking the wall and let the coldness go.
Let our pray be spread to every adult and child.

Conversation:
Some people say our fate was determined when we were born.
Nobody can disobey his destiny. I do not think about it this way.
I believe if we still keep our hopes up and let the hard moment surpass,
Our sons and daughters will be able to stand up fearlessly.
Morakot typhoon hits really hard on Taiwan, I hope that everyone can help each other.
Donate your money and provide your strength to help our people to re-build a place to live and provide the resources of food.
Personally, I think a miracle is the accumulations of hard work and passion.
Let us work together and become the well-known new Formosa worldwide again!
