你是不是像我在太阳下低头
nǐ shì bú shì xiàng wǒ zài tài yáng xià dī tóu 
Do you bow your head under the sun, just like me

流着汗水默默辛苦的工作
liú zhe hàn shuǐ mò mò xīn kǔ de gōng zuò
sweating and working hard without any complaint

你是不是像我就算受了冷漠
nǐ shì bú shì xiàng wǒ jiù suàn shòu le lěng mò
Are you coldly treated by life, just like me

也不放弃自己想要的生活
yě bú fàng qì zì jǐ xiǎng yào de shēng huó 
yet still don't give up fighting for the ideal life you have been pursuing

你是不是像我整天忙着追求
nǐ shì bú shì xiàng wǒ zhěng tiān máng zhe zhuī qiú 
Do you dash forward everyday, just like me

追求一种意想不到的温柔
zhuī qiú yī zhǒng yì xiǎng bú dào de wēn róu 
looking for unexpected kindness and understanding from others

你是不是像我曾经茫然失措
nǐ shì bú shì xiàng wǒ céng jīng máng rán shī cuò
Have you had been lost, just like me

一次一次徘徊在十字街头
yī cì yī cì pái huái zài shí zì jiē tóu 
again and again, standing at the cross road and wondering where to go

因为我不在乎别人怎么说
yīn wéi wǒ bú zài hū bié rén zěn me shuō 
Just because I don't care what others talk

我从来没有忘记我
wǒ cóng lái méi yǒu wàng jì wǒ
and never  forget my dream

对自己的承诺对爱的执著
duì zì jǐ de chéng nuò duì ài de zhí zhe 
and the commitment I made to myself
as well as the pursuit for true love

我知道我的未来不是梦
wǒ zhī dào wǒ de wèi lái bú shì mèng
I know that my future is not just a dream

我认真的过每一分钟
wǒ rèn zhēn de guò měi yī fèn zhōng
I  try to make every minute count

我的未来不是梦
wǒ de wèi lái bú shì mèng
My future is not a dream

我的心跟着希望在动
wǒ de xīn gēn zhe xī wàng zài dòng
My heart always follows my hope

我的未来不是梦
wǒ de wèi lái bú shì mèng 
My future is not a dream

我认真的过每一分钟
wǒ rèn zhēn de guò měi yī fèn zhōng 
I  try to make every minute count

我的未来不是梦
wǒ de wèi lái bú shì mèng  
My future is not a dream

我的心跟着希望在动
wǒ de xīn gēn zhe xī wàng zài dòng 
My heart always follows my hope

跟着希望在动
gēn zhe xī wàng zài dòng
and my dream

Tom Chang: In the late 1980's, a Taiwan pop singer, Tom Chang, or Chang Yu-sheng, with his invigorating song "My Future Is not a Dream", gripped the ears and hearts of thousands of fans across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. While thousands upon thousands of young people were spurred by the song to follow their dreams and ambitions, the gifted singer was struck down by a car accident while driving under fatigue. On 12th of November in 1997, the 31-year-old singer passed away, leaving his fans in endless regret and grief. Many years passed and there have been countless concerts, shows, and activities organized to commemorate this music genius.

The album "The Sea", probably the biggest commercial success in Chang's singing career, claimed to have sold 6 million copies. The catchy tune, keen lyrics, and the passion of its title song "The sea" left an inerasable impression on Chang's music fans and made it a cornerstone of his popularity on the Chinese mainland.
