Dear mother

please don't worry

Forgive me

I cannot leave cause

I must fight those unforgivable ones

I'm sorry my love

I cannot go to the movies with you

Forgive me

cause I cannot leave

I must fight the ones that are making us bleed

Dawn is near

There are people here

Who resolve to protect our dreams

And thus vow to become stronger than before

Dawn is near

Don't be afraid

Today is the day

That I protect you for a change

The days seem endless

but please don't worry

because I know

that when winter comes

spring shall soon arrive

Dawn is near

Dawn is near

We are braver than before

Dawn s near

Lets sing it out loud

Until the rays of hope

Shines upon everyone on this island

Dawn is near

Lets sing it out loud

Once the sun reaches the mountain

Then it's time to go home

Dawn is near

Lets sing it out loud

Until the rays of hope

Shines upon everyone on this island

Dawn is near

Lets sing it out loud

Once the sun reaches the mountain

Then it's time to go home

Today is the day

For the brave Taiwanese

Dedicated to those with unwavering will and soul
