"Dare to Ask Where the Road Leads"
Song original: Zhang BaoMo (lead singer), Jiang DaWei (main communicator)
Lyrics: Yan Su
Songwriter: Xu JingQing
You carry a burden, I lead a horse;
Welcome the sunrise and send away the evening sun.
To smooth out the bumps and turns into a big road, to fight off the hardships and dangers and to set off again, again and again. The road is under your feet.
You carry the burden, I hold the horse;
Wading through the mountains and wading through the water with frost on both shoulders.
The winds, clouds, thunder and lightning are all powerful, all the way to the end of the world, to the end of the world. The road is under the feet.
Dare I ask where the road is? The road is under the feet.
