Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Korean + English]
사람은 태어날 때부터 귀천이 없다
(We are born the same, no throne, no chain)
배우는 자만이 높은 곳에 이르며
(The learned rise, while the lost remain)
[Pre-Chorus – English + Korean]
They dream of power, they envy the throne
그러나 그들이 놓친 건
It’s knowledge that raised them alone
[Chorus – Korean + English]
배워야 해, 살아가기 위해
(You gotta learn to live, to stand on your own)
지식을 무기로, 세상을 향해
(With wisdom as your shield, the truth will be known)
한 사람의 독립이
(One man’s rise…)
나라의 존엄을 세운다
(...builds the pride of the nation)
[Verse 2 – English + Korean]
Don’t be fooled by songs of pride,
가짜 배움에 빠지지 마
History, ethics, math, and light
실용의 길을 가야만 해
[Bridge – Harmony / Spoken Chorus – Both languages]
(Without the will to stand, no progress will arrive)
정부는 필요악일 뿐, 의존하면
그건 우리를 어둠 속에 가둔다
(The state ain’t god, don’t worship its name)
Rise, and you’ll never be the same
[Chorus – Both languages intertwined]
Learn to question, learn to grow
(묻고 또 묻고, 진리를 찾아)
Don’t obey the past too blind
(낡은 관습에 눈을 가리지 마)
One soul stands tall, one nation shines
(한 몸의 독립, 한 나라의 빛)
With truth and pride, we rise in time
(진실과 자부심으로, 우리는 빛 속에 일어서)
[Outro – Korean Whispered / English Overlap]
학문의 길은
(…the way to rise…)
자신을 높이고
(…is not just to thrive…)
세상에 쓰이는 것이다
(…but to give and revive…)
빛으로 일어서, together we survive.
