成长是一场战斗

每个人都在等待
　　每个人都在看台
　　即使进入梦乡
　　也要时刻提防
　　难解的是，昨天我们还只是小孩
　　扮演成士兵，只是假装
　　还做着快乐结局的梦想
　　在后院用木剑横扫战场
　　可现在我们已踏入残酷世间
　　这里人人都在驻足评判
　　你要时刻提防
　　每个人都在等待，等着你失败
　　每个人都在看台，看你被淘汰
　　即使进入梦乡，进入梦乡
　　也要时刻提防
　　也要时刻提防
　　也要时刻提防
　　所以你才暂时领先，时刻提防
　　每一次教训都刻下新伤
　　他们不曾想到，你的坚持如此久长
　　一转身，噢，四处全是敌人
　　这是最后较量，现在没人可以帮忙
　　可他们没有你的专长
　　是的，他们没有你的专长
　　你要随时随地保持提防
　　步伐要坚定
　　莫要太慌张
　　你要时刻提防
　　目标要紧盯
　　夜色渐苍茫
　　你要时刻提防
　　Everybody's waiting
　　Everybody's watching
　　Even when you're sleeping
　　Keep your eyes open
　　The tricky thing as yesterday we were just children
　　Playing soldiers just pretending
　　Dreaming dreams with happy endings
　　In backyards， winning battles with our wooden swords
　　But now we've stepped into a cruel world
　　Where everybody stands to keep score
　　Keep your eyes open
　　Everybody's waiting for you to break down
　　Everybody's watching to see the fallout
　　Even when you're sleeping， sleeping
　　Keep your eyes open
　　Keep your eyes open
　　Keep your eyes open
　　So here you are， two steps ahead and staying on guard
　　Every lesson forms a new scar
　　They never thought you'd make it this far
　　But turn around， oh they've surrounded you
　　It's a showdown， and nobody comes to save you now
　　But you've got something they don't
　　Yeah you've got something they don't
　　You've just got to keep your eyes open
　　Keep your feet ready
　　Heartbeat steady
　　Keep your eyes open
　　Keep your aim locked
　　The night goes dark
　　Keep your eyes open
