On the hill, there is a swan
At the bottom of the hill runs a river

There once was a child named XiaoDu
Went out one day to buy some vinegar and sell cloth
He sold his cloth, bought his vinegar
Turned around and saw an eagle catching a rabbit
He put down the cloth, cut loose the vinegar
Began to chase the eagle and the rabbit
The eagle flew away; the rabbit ran away
He spilled the vinegar, got the cloth wet
His mouth blamed his legs, his legs blamed his mouth
His mouth blamed his legs, those legs that love to run His legs blamed his mouth, the mouth that loves to run Moving just the mouth and not the legs Moving just the legs and not the mouth Might as well not have either legs or mouth Did the mouth blame the legs... ... or the legs blame the mouth? |

SHERO
Watch the fireworks with yourself, Go for a drive along with yourself
Face your weakness break up with it, Travel by yourself, Dream by yourself
Drink a can of icy cold beer; irrigate your long awaited dimples
Let smiles return to the pinks on your lips
Who said that girls don't have ROCK 'N ROLL
I tell myself when I am the only one left, who will be my hero?
Cannot see, cannot find, cannot find your HERO
Why don't you become your own sky supporting SHERO
You can be, I can be, the one who will pass through hell and high waters for oneself SHERO
Like an empress brandishing her arrogant cloak
First turn around, first free yourself, first say goodbye, first breakway
The world is behind his back so it was actually that vast
Use a strong and a gentle and a firm fist,
To knock out the beat to a brand new life
In my chronicles, it has been written
To revise History into Herstory
In my memoir, happiness will extend a long time
Then let me start building my kingdom today, I am an empress an ordinary SHERO
Cannot see, cannot find, cannot find your HERO
Why don't you become your own sky supporting SHERO
You can be, I can be, the one who will pass through hell and high waters oneself, cower no more
Do not need, do not search, do not wait, who needs a HERO
Come forward. become your own sky supporting SHERO
You can be, I can be, the one who will pass through hell and high waters for oneself SHERO
Like an empress brandishing her own cloak
