My happiness soars above the clouds.
The high-flying success of my career,
Lets my feelings free.
Even in times of greatest sadness,
My laughter echoes around the world.
My happiness soars above the clouds.
The light surrounds me,
Projecting my figure against the darkness of the sky,
Lets my feelings free.
You are on the bottom rung of the ladder.
I am on the top rung, ready to leave this world, but even so,
My happiness soars above the clouds.
My friend, don’t waste your life with tedious jobs,
Focus on changing the world.
Let your feelings free.
You only have one chance to achieve something,
So try and be happy.
Let your happiness soar above the clouds.
Let your feelings free.
