“这首歌的灵感源于一个真实的故事。大学时，我有一位同学，每次被教授点名上台演示，总是结结巴巴，难以顺畅表达。但那位教授并没有责备他，而是每天邀请他到办公室，一起练习, 让他读报纸给自己听。日复一日，透过这种温柔的陪伴与坚持，他的口语渐渐流畅，不再被结巴束缚。能遇到这样一位用鼓励和耐心支持学生的教授，是一种难得的幸运，也是这首歌最初的感动。”

This song was inspired by a true story. Back in university, I had a classmate who stuttered every time the professor called on him to present. Instead of scolding him, the professor invited him to his office every day to practise, asking him to read the newspaper aloud. Day after day, through this gentle encouragement and consistent practice, his speech became more fluent, and the stutter gradually faded away. To have such a professor, who nurtures with patience and support, is a rare blessing, and the heart of this song’s inspiration.

[Intro]
小时候，我最怕不是考试时候
(As a child, it wasn’t the test I feared the most)
而是老师喊我名字，要站起来开口
(It was when my name was called, to rise and face my voice)
字句像石子堵在喉咙，卡住了节奏
(Words like stones stuck in my throat, breaking the flow)
还没出声，笑声已在教室泛滥成河流
(Before I spoke, laughter spread like rivers through the room)

[Verse 1]
我不是没练过
(It’s not that I never tried)
对着镜子数数，念诗、背书、低头
(Counting in the mirror, poems recited, books memorised)
可一站上台
(But once I stepped into the light)
心跳如鼓，眼神像鸟乱飞走
(My heart a drum, my eyes like birds scattering in fright)
那天语音跳针，泪光朦胧
(That day my voice broke, tears blurred my sight)
我沉默低头，泪水顺着风口流
(I bowed in silence, my tears carried by the wind’s flight)

[Pre-Chorus]
我哭了很久，在讲台下，背对着光口
(I cried so long beneath the stage, turning away from the light)
直到老师走来，轻轻拉我衣袖口
(Till my teacher came, and gently held my sleeve so tight)
她说：“失败不是错，一次跌倒也能走
(She said: “Failure’s not a sin, each fall still leads you on the road)
只要你愿意继续说
(As long as you keep your voice alive)
我就一直为你停留。”
(I’ll be right here, by your side.”)

[Chorus]
于是我开始练，把沉默拆成歌喉
(So I began to sing, breaking silence into sound)
哪怕一页课本，要读上一百遍才通透
(Even if one page took a hundred reads to come around)
她让我念给山谷回声听，就算无人回首
(She told me: read to valleys, let echoes be your crowd)
那时我不知道未来在等候
(Back then I never knew the future that awaited)
只知道声音里藏着自由
(I only knew that freedom hid within my voice)

[Verse 2 — 绕口令段]
破破破音不再破，卡卡卡词一一透
(The broken tones no longer broke, each word now flowing free)
葡萄滚进节奏里，舌头像溪水往前走
(Grapes rolled into rhythm, my tongue ran on like streams)
四是四，十是十，十四和四十不混口
(Four is four, ten is ten, no more tangled in between)
字如风，我是舟，划过峡谷的漩涡口
(Words like the wind, I was the boat, cutting whirlpools in the gorge)
音节敲成节拍，我从恐惧里打出节奏
(Syllables struck like beats, I drummed a rhythm out of fear)
谁说结巴不能开口？我用声音写下自由
(Who says a stutter cannot sing? I wrote my freedom here)

[Bridge]
她让我站在空教室的讲台头
(She placed me at the podium of an empty room)
窗外白云低垂，仿佛山岭等候
(Clouds hung low outside, like mountains standing in gloom)
我还在抖，她却笑着点头
(I still trembled, but she only smiled and nodded slow)
于是我闭上眼，把句子飞出口
(So I closed my eyes, and let the sentences go)
像山歌飘过午后的斜阳温柔
(Like a mountain song drifting through the gentle afternoon glow)
仿佛山谷在回响，我终于开口
(The valley echoed back, at last, I found my voice)

[Final Chorus]
后来我又站上那片光的尽头
(Later I stood once more at the edge of the light)
这次不是被选中，而是我自己举起了手
(This time not chosen, but raising my own hand with pride)
那些字没再绊出口
(The words no longer stumbled as they rolled)
它们成了我心里的节奏
(They became the heartbeat, the rhythm of my soul)
说完最后一个音节那时候
(And when the final syllable was done)
掌声如潮，泪水随风涌流
(Applause like waves, tears rushing with the wind’s run)
不是因为赢了成就
(Not because I won or gained acclaim)
而是我听见心在喊出口
(But because my heart was shouting out )
“我的结巴终于自由！”
(“My stutter is finally free!”)

[Outro]
她拍拍我肩膀，像那年一样轻轻守候
(She patted my shoulder, as she did that year, still quietly near)
“你看吧，你一直都可以往前走。”
(“See? You could always move ahead, my dear.”)
我点点头，却说不出口
(I nodded, though no words could flow)
这一次，不是结巴
(This time, it wasn’t a stutter)
是泪太重，挂在心口
(It was the weight of tears, clinging to my heart and soul)
