A Brighter Future ("海闊天空"英文版)

My English version of 海闊天空 "A BRIGHTER FUTURE" in support to Hong Kong's democracy campaign:

On this day, through the night all stay awake
In the crowded streets where many people stray
In the massed array
Umbrellas shield gas and sprays
But they also bring dismay
Hope for change (who would give way)

Many times, we have heard the people cry
No one would ever give up on their own rights
Must give it a try
All we can do to defy
If we fail we must retry
It's our time (for us to shine)

Keep the faith that somehow one day we will have our say
We don't want to mindlessly obey
We'd give up today, for our future's sake
And the world will see how we fight this day

Many times, we have heard the people cry
No one would ever give up on their own rights
Must give it a try
All we can do to defy
If we fail we must retry
It's our time (for us to shine)

Keep the faith that somehow one day we will have our say
We don't want to mindlessly obey
We'd give up today, for our future's sake
And the world will see how we fight this day

And in Central we stay
Also in Causeway Bay
All through the day

Keep the faith that somehow one day we will have our say
We don't want to mindlessly obey
We'd give up today, for our future's sake
And the world will see how we fight this day

We'd give up today, for our future's sake
And the world will see how we fight this day

Keep the faith that somehow one day we will have our say
We don't want to mindlessly obey
We'd give up today, for our future's sake
And the world will see how we fight this day

(FIGHT ON HK! HK is my favourite place in the world. This beautiful and beloved city deserves to have a bright future. Let us all support those in HK)
