## Hangul

**하나인 작은 지구
수많은 벽 앞에
서로를 겨눈 채
진심을 외면해

깊어져 가는 Hatred
싸늘한 시선에
온기는 사라져
홀로 버틸 뿐

메마른 계절 위로
모든 걸 감싸줄 눈이 와
다치고 상처 난 마음 위로
We are the cure
We are the cure

차가운 계절 뒤로
우리가 심었던 나무가
새롭게 피어날 꽃이 되어
We are the cure
We are the cure

오색의 아름다움이
빛나던 세상은
흑백 시선에
바래져 가곤 해

눈부셨던 햇살은
먼지 빛만 가득해
되돌려야 해
1 2 3 다 함께해

차가운 계절 뒤로
우리가 심었던 나무가
새롭게 피어날 꽃이 되어
We are the cure
We are the cure

자라나는 새싹 같아
맑은 공기 대기처럼 밝은
미소는 머금지 햇빛
푸르고 커다란 나무가 되니
CO2 to oxygen
Put the pedal to the medal

거칠었던 과거를 덮었지 너를 보며
똑같이 그 사랑을 나도 이제 나눠
Okay this world needs a cure
그게 너인 걸 난 알아

우린 상처받을수록
서로가 더욱 필요해
너와 난 하나기에

나도 몰래 박힌 가시에
더 깊은 흉터를 남기곤 해
익숙함이라는 핑계로
무관심을 당연하게 여기고

그럴 때 서로를 놓으면 안 돼
때로는 지쳐 무너지고 싶을 때
결국 우리를 일으키는 건
서로의 손길 Oh oh oh

메마른 계절 위로
(바람이 불 때)
모든 걸 감싸줄 눈이 와
(새하얀 눈이 내려와)
다치고 상처 난 마음 위로
(짙게 멍들었던 너의 마음)
We are the cure (Bum bum bum)
We are the cure (Yes we are)

차가운 계절 뒤로
우리가 심었던 나무가
(따스한 봄이 와)
새롭게 피어날 꽃이 되어
(새롭게 피어나)
We are the cure
We are the cure

Don’t you worry
(Don’t you worry now)
Cause I don’t worry about it
(Oh no I’m with you)
(Don’t you know)
We are the cure
We are the cure

Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry
Cause I don’t worry about it
Don’t you worry
(Don’t you worry about it)
We are the cure
We are the cure**

## English

**Only this one small Earth
But so many walls in front of us
Eyeing each other with suspicion
Ignoring the heart’s command

As Hatred grows deeper
The looks grow colder
Warmth is gone
Each endures alone

Upon this withered winter scene
Comes the snow’s embrace
Upon this heart and its scars
We are the cure
We are the cure

Behind the receding cold
A tree we had planted
Flowers anew
We are the cure
We are the cure

The world in Technicolor
Shone so bright, but
The black-and-white perspective
Drains the colors away

The brilliant sunlight
Now choked with dust
Gotta turn this around
1, 2, 3, we’ll do it together

Behind the receding cold
A tree we had planted
Flowers anew
We are the cure
We are the cure

Like growing sprouts
Glittering like fresh, clean air
Sun shines with a shy smile
Then soars as a tall, green tree
CO2 to oxygen
Put the pedal to the medal

Turning over a new leaf
In the light you shine on me
Watching you love
I now learn to give love
Okay this world needs a cure
And that cure is you, I know

The more we hurt
The more we need each other
You and I are one

Didn’t know a splinter was creeping
Deeper into my skin, scarring me more
Defending the lack of awareness
As just a harmless habit

Times like this, we gotta hold tight
When we just can’t anymore
What finally gets us back on our feet
The loving touch of another, Oh oh oh

Upon this withered winter scene
(With the wind blowing)
Comes the snow’s embrace
(Pure white snow fluttering down)
Upon this heart and its scars
(Dark bruises on your heart)
We are the cure (Bum bum bum)
We are the cure (Yes we are)

Behind the receding cold
A tree we had planted
(Spring thaw coming)
Flowers anew
(Blossoms anew)
We are the cure
We are the cure
(We are the cure)

Don’t you worry
(Don’t you worry now)
Cause I don’t worry about it
(Oh no I’m with you)
(Don’t you know)
We are the cure
We are the cure

Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry
Cause I don’t worry about it
Don’t you worry
(Don’t you worry about it)
We are the cure
We are the cure**
