    Oh, I realize

    Oh, aku menyadarinya

    It's hard to take courage

    Memang sulit memiliki keberanian

    In a world full of people

    Di dunia yang dipenuhi orang

    Kau bisa lupakan semua itu

    The darkness inside you

    Kegelapan didalammu

    Can make you feel so small

    Bisa membuatmu merasa begitu kecil

    I last saw you laughing

    Terakhir kali kulihat kau tertawa

    This world makes you crazy

    Dunia ini membuatmu gila

    And you've taken all you can bear

    Kau sudah menanggung beban yang bisa kau tanggung

    Just call me up

    Panggil saja aku

    'Cause I will always be there

    Karena aku akan selalu disana

    And I see your true colors shining through

    Dan kulihat warna sejatimu bercahaya
