We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Hands up, heart awake
손을 들고, 심장을 깨워
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
One spark, one take
단 한 번의 불꽃, 단 한 번의 시도
Blank page waiting like a runway
활주로처럼 기다리는 빈 페이지
Coffee cold but my pulse says go
커피는 식었지만 내 맥박은 뛰라고 말해
Tiny thought in a quiet room
조용한 방 안의 작은 생각 하나가
Starts to shine, starts to grow
빛나기 시작하고, 자라나기 시작해
I tap the table, find a rhythm
나는 테이블을 두드리며 리듬을 찾고
Draw the sky with a pencil line
연필선으로 하늘을 그려
Every mistake turns into motion
모든 실수는 움직임으로 변하고
Every maybe starts to fly
모든 가능성은 날아오르기 시작해
Now the walls are singing back
이제 벽들이 노래로 답하고
Feel the colors in the track
트랙 안의 색깔들이 느껴져
Nothing there a minute ago
일 분 전만 해도 아무것도 없었는데
Now it moves like magic
이제는 마법처럼 움직이지
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Turn a dream into a dare
꿈을 향한 도전으로 바꿔
Light it up, let it play
불을 밝히고, 재생해 봐
Dance it into shape
춤을 추며 형태를 만들어
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Feel the joy everywhere
어디서나 이 기쁨을 느껴
From a spark to a flare
작은 불꽃에서 큰 타오름으로
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Cut the silence into pieces
침묵을 조각내어 자르고
Build a bridge with a melody
멜로디로 다리를 놓아
Friends come running to the chorus
친구들이 코러스로 달려오고
Now the room is a galaxy
이제 이 방은 은하수가 돼
Step by step, we climb the feeling
한 걸음씩, 우린 감정을 끌어올려
Beat drops, everybody knows
비트가 떨어지면, 모두가 알지
What we made with open hands
우리가 열린 두 손으로 만든 것이
Becomes the place we call home
우리가 집이라 부르는 곳이 된다는 걸
When the doubt gets loud
의심이 커질 때면
We sing it higher
우린 더 높이 노래해
When the lights go out
빛이 꺼질 때면
We become the fire
우리가 불꽃이 돼
Nothing in our pockets
주머니엔 아무것도 없지만
But a sky we can share
우리가 나눌 수 있는 하늘이 있어
Watch the whole world open
온 세상이 열리는 걸 지켜봐
From a song in the air
허공에 울리는 노래 하나로
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Turn a dream into a dare
꿈을 향한 도전으로 바꿔
Light it up, let it play
불을 밝히고, 재생해 봐
Dance it into shape
춤을 추며 형태를 만들어
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Feel the joy everywhere
어디서나 이 기쁨을 느껴
From a spark to a flare
작은 불꽃에서 큰 타오름으로
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
One spark, one take
단 한 번의 불꽃, 단 한 번의 시도
We make it from air
우린 허공에서 만들어내
Create, create, create
창조해, 창조해, 창조해
