LYRICS ;

Verse 1: [Sukie & Dolly]
yav tag los hmoob lub kua muag nrog
vim txoj kev ua tsov ua rog
kwv tij hmoob, nej puav nco qab txog

hmoob ua lub neej nyob tsaus ntuj nti
hmoob twb poob ntau lub kua muag
ntws mus nrog tus dej peb niam thiab txiv hlav

Bridge: [Sukie & Dolly]
txawm peb tsis muaj
lub teb chawm ib yam li luag
los tsuas peb txawj sib hlub

Verse 2: [Tupao & Sunny]
txawm zoo thiab phem peb sawv ua kev
los tim thaiv peb hmoob lub npe
nws thiab nrov mus thoob lub ntiaj teb

muaj kev nyuaj siab thov sib pab daws
muaj kev zoo siab thov pab txhawb
hmoob lub kua muag thiaj txawj tu

Bridge: [Tupao & Sunny]
txawm peb tsis muaj
lub teb chawm ib yam li luag
los tsuas peb txawj sib hlub, txij hnub no mus

*Chorus: [Shillbe & Michael]
ntiaj teb txawj nphau, ntiaj teb txawj tig
hmoob daiv ntawv yuav muaj hwj chim
cov laus, cov hluas, cov muaj, cov pluag
los saum ua kev muaj kev lom zem
nyob ua ib kev sib pab sib hlub
haiv neeg hmoob yuav nyob kaj siab lug

Verse 3: [Gary & Para]
txhua xyoo txog lub tshiab peb caug
pom kwv tij hmoob tuab ua kev
hluas nkauj hluas nraug sib tuav tem

lub neej txom nyem muaj nws tso mus
vim haiv hmoob vaj meeb zuj zus
peb twb nrog lub ntiaj teb sib twv kawv txuj

Bridge: [Gary & Para]
los nco ntsoov tias vim yog muaj
cov laus peb thiab tau tuaj nyob li no

Verse 4: [Cher & Melissa]
yog muaj ib hnub nej ncev tau siab
thov tig los pab cov tom qab
kom peb lub neej zoo tshaj yav tag

thov los txhawj peb haiv neeg hmoob
kom peb ua neej xws li luag
thiab tsis nyog peb hmoob poob kua muag

Bridge: [Cher & Melissa]
los nco ntsoov tias vim yog muaj
cov laus peb thiab tau tuaj nyob li no
