루시드폴 (Lucid Fall) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

해어진 남방에 그을리지 않고도
건강한 얼굴, 붉은 입술 가진 아이야

가진 이들에겐 조화로운 세상

우뚝 서거라, 안아주거라
너의 품으로

걱정 마, 넌 우리보다 더 따뜻하단다
자랑스런 네 검은 피부 가리지 마라
어리석은 이들의 눈빛 피하지 마라

너는 똑똑하다
너는 건강하다
너는 아름답다
대한민국보다

지지 않는 네 엄마의 땅 태양처럼
이글거리는 온기조차 모르는 사람들에게
주먹보다 위대한 이름
차별보다 거대한 이름

가르쳐 주어라
깨우쳐 주어라
