We Can Fly (feat. CCC) [Prod. By JC]

from Paradox Chapter Two by Karim Rushdy

lyrics

Verse1, Karim Rushdy
Why don't you tell me how I made you mad
And didn't listen now you're feeling sad
Why don't you tell ‘bout what isn't good
I got a feeling you're misunderstood
I wanna listen to your every word
I know my actions have been absurd
I wanna tell you I'm a changed man
I got a vision with a game plan
It’s hard to move forward when your soul’s shook
They used to call me the closed book
But those dark emotions are my old look
I opened up for you take a close look
And this is not a hollow promise...
This is a blessing that will fall upon us
Who knew the call would be so melodic?
There's inner peace to be found...
‘cause God is honest.

Chorus
With two wings we can fly

Verse 2, Karim Rushdy
uhn, and it should feel right
like somebody who holds you close, real tight
you know it’s more than something that just seems nice
love never holds you back, but fear might
i took a look into my future
all i could find was us
so even though times are tough right now
my baby, let’s stay love birds; flyin up
I'm tired of that feeling where you're kind of stuck
with an emotional time bomb and your time is up
i’m ready for the day when i can hold you and say
yah we're old and grey but didn’t we rise above?
now can you hear that?
that’s the sound of every atom surrendering to the melody
And can you feel that?
that's the feeling of never ending replenishing energy

Chorus

Verse 3, CCC
이 길은 혼자선 걷지 못해 이젠 알았어
Now i realized that i couldn't walk this way alone
난 완벽히 다른 형태의 염감을 찾았어
I found totally different kind of inspiration
내가 여태 알던게 날 가두겠지
What I understood before will keep me stuck
주변엔 목에 다 씌울 Frame이 가득했지
My neck was locked down with prejudices
전부 떠맡는 것 그 책임감 아래 압사 당하는것-
Like I tried take over the whole thing but I now I know it's gonna kill me.
입술을 깨물고 할 말을 참아야 만하는 것
And I used to hold my words which should be spoken.
웃지않는 것 이유 역시 묻지 않을 것
I used to hide my smile. And wasn't curious about this world.
삶의 평범한 잣대로 선을 긋지만 그건
We used to divide our lives saying it's so-called common sense,
전혀 아름답지 않은 거야 꺾여버릴 상징
But it's never beautiful and my wings will be broken.
귀에 얹은 손 바닥은 혐오와 몰상식
If we cover our ears with hands, it results in disgust and senselessness
우린 알아야 돼 날개는 크거나 또 작지
We should know - each wing can be big or small
둘을 같게 하는건 오직 대화의 방식
But if you want to make the size of man's and woman's wings equal, you need to listen.
신이 주신 길에 우린 손을 쌓아 영혼은
We get our hands together on the road which is given by God.
하나가 되고 또 작은 기적을 낳아 마치
Then your souls will be one and you can make little miracle (give birth to little miracle*)
형과 그녀가 이미 그런것 처럼
Like what you and your wife already did.
나와 내 Muse가 이제 그럴것 처럼
And, like what me & my muse will do.
