In return for this wonderful news :cool:, does anyone have a link to the Mandarin lyrics for the song?

After much failed Googling, I came up with this for the Mandarin lyrics:

WuKong gong xi
qu jing lai liao
wei liao xi wang ...
dou yao ...
gan ji meng xiang
shen zhi ling kong

If any Chinese person could correct (and interpret?), I'd be grateful :thumbsup:

I've no idea, so I'll guess...

A mountain is high

And the sky is wide

But rivers know another path

And the path

is long but wide enough for all

And leads to our dreams.

Or something like that.... :hihi:
