《追梦》

I have finally decided to update my blog after so long. Haha. So what have I been up to during my blogging hiatus? Well, I picked up a new found hobby - song composing. Actually I tried composing my own songs way back in primary and secondary school but I didn't know how to play any musical instruments then and had no formal music training, so the songs which I wrote back then weren't nice and I gave up. I picked up the guitar after my A levels and after I was able to play and sing, I decided to give song composing another shot. So, here's one of my original chinese song compositions titled 'Zhui Meng', which translates into 'The Pursuit of Dreams'. Hope you will like it! :)

大家好，想和你们分享我和我的朋友的作品《追梦》。这是我第一次尝试写一首有rap的歌喔！ 希望你们会喜欢！:)

We all have dreams and aspirations, but many a times we do not pursue them because we are afraid of failure. More often than not, we regret things which we have not done rather than things which we tried but failed. There will definitely be trying times in life, but failure is just a test. No one can predict the future and there is no use harping on the past. We should instead focus on the present. I hope this song will inspire people to stop procrastinating and boldly pursue their dreams, because opportunities seldom come twice. :)

"As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters." - Seneca

《追梦》

（Verse 1）
Oh...oh...
世界分秒在改变
无人能预购明天
理想今天没兑现
昨天也已经走远

（Verse 2）
人生里挫折难免
不要让逃避出现
唤醒起勇气面对
失败只是种考验

（Pre-chorus 1）
未来的路也许遥远
遇到挫折笑脸面对
黑夜里星光闪闪
点亮了心中的梦想

（Chorus）
期待不一样的未来
不要一直徘徊
要追求梦想不要再等待
爱让生命更精彩
心田里有你在
所有的烦恼全都被抛开
抛开。。。抛开。。。
(Pre-chorus 2）
挥霍的光阴取不回
已没时间继续浪费
抱紧每个难逢机会
让生命绽放光和彩

(repeat chorus)

（Rap）
世界是我的舞台
每天上演自己的编排
我的宇宙由我主宰
梦想的未来都要勇敢去摘
让所有想象的阻碍
全从心中抛开抛开
鼓起勇气把梦想赢回来
1，2，3 Oh yeah

(repeat chorus and rap)
