Song Lyrics

A1:
Oh hey young fella, why the sour face
Oh I can smell your sadness miles away
On this day, the sun is shining brightly be happy
嘿 年青人 何以苦著臉兒
噢 千里之外嗅到你愁思
今天陽光普照應歡然

What if I told you there is a place
Where you can let your inner child out to play
Not a joke, not at all,
Only the bravest of the souls go and take a look
若告知你有一角落
讓你釋放童真玩樂
不是戲言乃真確
唯最精銳勇者前往探索

B1:
Forget your worries, put them away
And solve your problems some other day
Cause it’s a whole world out there to explore
Sailing to distant shores
忘掉掛慮 拋開焦慮
疑難改天解除
因那裏廣闊天地能尋趣
啟航到彼岸遠去

So come and follow, follow my lead
Yes I can give you whatever you seek
Because a friend in need is a friend indeed
Welcome into our land of your make-beliefs
就來跟隨我引領
凡你尋求的我能達成
因朋友間患難見真情
光臨夢幻天地甚歡迎

A2:
Streets of gold, everywhere you look
And crystal rivers carrying silver boats
Get a whiff, the air is full
Of laughter, and music
黃金街隨處可見
銀船 穿梭水晶河面
聞一聞 笑聲樂歌漫天
Armenian castles inlaid with gold
A hundred fifty ounces of steak to cook
Could it be? Could it be?
The place you store your wildest dreams
You’re invited in!
古老城堡鑲嵌黃金
一百五十盎司牛扒來烹飪
怎麼可能？
最大膽的夢想此地蘊含
你已受邀光臨！

B2:
Because we’re living in harmony
It’ an enormous family
Not even Disney movies can describe
Life that’s this sublime!
因我們居於和睦中
這一龐大家庭
迪士尼動畫也無法形容
生命如此出眾！

It took some time to build it all up
Oh the beginning was a bit rough
And then one day we stopped lo and behold
Haters now look at us, yeah we told you so!
建成須累月經年
噢 稍稍艱難的起點
某天完竣讚嘆眼前
敵人眼紅 對 如我所言！

B3:
It’s time to get up, outta your seat
And recognize it’s all a dream
Though every smell and color felt so real
Realer than real can feel
該醒來離開座椅之時
認清全是夢境而已
縱然氣味色彩真切
現實也無可比擬

Okay, I guess I’ll cut you a deal
So pinky promise not to reveal
Because the land you seek isn’t make-belief
It’s the protagonist’s origin story
好吧 跟你達成協議
答應秘而不泄
因你尋覓的樂土非虛擬
乃主角的起源故事

Aidan的分享
【Realer than real】歌詞演繹

這首歌，想讓大家知道，世上有一個仙境般的隱藏國度，那裡，有世上一切最美好的事物，連空氣裡，都飄盪彌漫著幸福的感覺。

A1:
客廳裡，一個小胖子坐在沙化上，百無聊賴地拿著遙控器，頻繁地換著電視頻道，漸漸因太過沉悶，不知不覺進入了夢鄉。夢裡，小胖子看見一個男孩，如童話故事般，從電視機裡走出來，告訴他︰「你不要總是躲在家裡宅著，其實有一個地方，早已為你準備好了。那是一個很開心、任何事都可能發生的地方，而且，不是任何人都可以去，只有最精英的一群、在被揀選下才能進去。」

B1:
男孩擔當起導遊的角色，帶著小胖子，到達這一個比童話更美好的廣闊天地，為他介紹這裡，告訴他︰「你可以完全忘記你的煩憂，單單享受這世界，所有你曾經的夢想，都可以在這裡實現！」事實上，現時每星期錫安的印證，我們親眼見證著不同的事情發生，一切一切，都非常奇妙、令人意想不到，令人非常興奮和讚嘆！

A2:
一路走下來，男孩繼續為小胖子介紹這地方，黃金的街道、鑽石的河流，推動著船往前走的浪濤，全都是閃亮耀眼的水晶。歡笑聲、音樂聲，不僅徘徊於耳中，更是飄盪在空氣裡，彷彿能嗅得到的實在。城堡裡，滿眼都是金銀寶石、數之不盡的美食，肉質鮮嫩的美味牛扒，不是盤中的一小塊，而是大得可以走上去，像跳彈床般嬉戲。

B2:
參觀了一段時間後，男孩告訴小胖子，這美好聖城的歷史︰「這位賓客，你眼前，這一座又大又漂亮的錫安城，並非一開始已如此。而是很多人的努力和同心，才能在一片荒地上，建立出這座分別為聖的城市。沒有人能否認，這是世間不配有的美好，甚至連迪士尼最感人的故事，也無法相提並論。所以，每一位賓客，無論是參觀，甚或有幸居住其中，都必須珍惜和記念，背後有一群人，為我們默默付出和犧牲，令我們可以居住在這一個如此美好的地方。」

B3:
小胖子忽然從夢中驚醒，原來，剛才經歷的一切，都只是一場夢。但這一切，實在太美好了，根本捨不得夢完！他不禁拿起手機，懷著一絲希望，嘗試在網絡搜尋，竟然真的找到錫安的信息和詩歌。背後，原來有一位錫安城的使者，看見他有一個好心田，所以，容許他知道錫安城是真實存在的秘密，讓他可以嚮往、可以藉著努力，加入世上這一個極美好的群體。

A1:
I want you all to know about this gem that is hidden away up above – the City of Zion. Everything is so wonderful in that realm that even the air is filled with joy and all that you’ve hoped for. A couch potato sitting aimlessly in the living room, changing channels with the remote in his hand. Bored as he was, he fell asleep and dreamed his way away. In his dream, the chubby boy saw a kid who acted as his tour guide. He walked to him from the TV, telling him, “hey young fella, you can’t always lay on the couch doing nothing, there’s a place of wonder for you! It is a place where all dreams have come true, but only for the bravest and elites like you.”

B1:
This little boy showed him around like a tour guide, taking him to this whole new world that is more than what you see in a fairy tale. “Forget all your worries and troubles here, just let your senses guide you and explore! Whatever you’ve hoped for is delivered here!”Like all the confirmation that is unfolding in front of us every week, it is all His Almighty’s doing. I’m simply amazed and humbled by all that is happening to the Church of Zion every step of the way. It’s so exciting and deserves all our praises!

A2:
Wandering around, the little boy led the chubby boy through the wonders of this land – everywhere he looked were streets of gold, rivers that were filled with diamonds, carrying silver boats with streams of waves. Everywhere you look is blinking crystals. Listen close! The air is full of laughter and music, as real as you can whiff it. In the Armenian castle, all you see is silver, gold and precious stones decorated in the rooms, and what’s more?Sumptuous meals and gourmet cuisines are all you can eat! There is even a gigantic juicy steak that you can bounce on like a trampoline! It’s a place where your wildest dreams are fulfilled!

B2:
After a short tour, the little boy shared a little background story of this beautiful City of Zion, “hi guest, the wonderful City of Zion that you see today did not start off as grand and enormous as it is. It took time and people who share the same vision to transform a deserted land into this dream city. There’s simply no other nation on this earth that can build this. No one would deny, it is a place that is out of this world, not even the most touching movie from Disney can describe what a perfect harmony this place is. So everyone! Whether you’re just a visitor or a lucky resident, we should all remember and cherish the group of heroes who came before us. We won’t be here, living in this wonderful place, if it wasn’t because of the sacrifices and contributions they made.”

B3:
The chubby kid suddenly woke up and realised it was all a dream. A dream he hoped that would never end. It was all too perfect and real. He immediately picked up his phone and searched for “Zion”, hoping he could find that dream a reality in this world. He was exhilarated to find the Church of Zion, and all that it offers – abundant wisdom and revelations of God’s words and new songs that touch the souls! Behind this dream was a hint from the resident of the City of Zion, who revealed the great secret of this wonderful place to him. It is a land of make-beliefs that he seeks and aspires to become a part of!

創作意境

「住在耶路撒冷的耶和華，該從錫安受稱頌！你們要讚美耶和華！」詩篇135:21

錫安城乃神同在之處，眾聖徒亦與祂同住，沉浸於恩典與榮譽，直至時間末端！這地奇幻盡顯，凡你思想的皆出現，凡你盼望的皆實現！數百萬人來自各地領土，只盼一嚐錫安至寶，別無他國能做到：神濃厚不息的同在、祂堅定不移的恩膏！這口井永不乾竭，永遠充滿智慧與啟示，使焦渴受教的稱心滿意，使疲憊心靈得安歇，解答千古迷思，追溯宇宙起始。

“Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭135:21‬
.
The City of Zion is where the Lord is, And where we will also be, Basking in His grace and glory, Until the end of time! It is a place of wonder. Whatever you think of appears! Whatever you hope for is delivered! Millions come from around the world, Hoping for just a taste of what Zion has to offer, What no other nation on earth can: God’s rich and undiminishing presence, And his unwavering anointing! It is a well that is never dry, Ever abundant with wisdom and revelations, Filling the thirsting hearts of those willing to listen, Satisfying their weary souls, With answers to questions that have existed, Since the beginning of the universe.

來吧！一同進到錫安城，感受神的同在，享受神無盡的恩典和祝福！
