Suppose that this world and I are different, then that makes us different
To me, holding fast means once unyielding, ever more unyielding
If I were to compromise my principles or lie to myself
Others might forgive me, but I’d never forgive myself

The most perfect wish has got to be the craziest
I am my own god at the place where I live

 I have my last bit of stubbornness grasped tightly in my two hands, absolutely not letting go
The next stop may be paradise, granted that disappointments can’t destroy hope
My proud stubbornness and I sing loudly into the wind
This time, I’m crazy for my own sake, just this time me and my stubbornness

People who love me needn’t be nervous, my obstinacy is good and honest
The dirtier my hands become, the clearer I can see
You don’t mind my past mistakes because you can see my wings
And you remind me that only after being burned in the fire can a phoenix be reborn

Traveling against the wind is the best way to take flight
Countless people throwing obstacles my way can’t scare me, I only fear my own surrender
