It was first performed on 18 March 2023, during the third show of “The Prime Classics Hins Live in London” concert. The song was officially released by FITTO Records on 20 April 2023, along with its music video on YouTube, marking it as one of Hins’ title songs for the year. In addition to the studio version, there are six other versions of the song released by Hins, making a total of seven. For this choral arrangement, arranger Alexander Wong borrowed elements from Chevaux de bois, the fourth song from French composer Claude Debussy’s song cycle Ariettes oubliées, to echo the imagery of the carousel in the lyrics. 歌詞 Lyrics: 即使你降生的時世沒選擇 人間再蒼白　容得下想法 世界藍圖只等你畫上恐龍和巨塔 天下仍是你畫冊 想得到煙花　馬上有煙花　你未看到嗎? 城堡靠想像　仍可再攀爬 流亡荒野眼前都有遊園地裡那羣木馬 置身廢城仍可建造人類最夢幻剎那 聽得見過山車由遠漸駛近 來裝載深夜仍等待的人 生活有時殘酷　至少這樂園永不宵禁 曾迷路的羊羣仍能被它的光帶引 想得到煙花　馬上有煙花　你未看到嗎? 城堡靠想像　仍可再攀爬 流亡荒野眼前都有永恆在轉那羣木馬 長大　如遺落了它我會害怕 遊歷過成人世界　誰沒有無形傷疤 想它變真嗎?　每日挖點沙　按部砌好它 如果有一日毋須再隱形 孩童能嬉戲再無牽掛 蓬萊實現在舊日敗瓦 希望　是遠征未來那隻...... Though you didn’t choose when you’d arrive, the pale world makes space for thought. A map awaits you, with dinosaurs and towers. The world is still your sketchbook. You want fireworks? They’re here, can’t you see them? Imagine a castle to climb. In the wilderness, you find a playground with wooden horses. Even amid ruin, you can build dreams and beautiful moments. A rollercoaster approaches from afar to carry those still waiting in the night. Though life is cruel, this playground never closes. Lost flocks can find their way led by its beacon. You want fireworks? They’re here, can’t you see them? Imagine a castle to climb. In the wilderness, you find a playground with wooden horses. As I grow, I fear I will forget them. Those who travel in the world of adults are scarred. Do you want dreams to be real? Build them slowly, grain by grain. Perhaps one day we’ll no longer hide, and children can play carefree. A paradise will rise from the ruins of the past. Hope always rides into the future...   / cuhkchorus     / cuchorus   http://linktr.ee/cuchorus http://www.cuchorus.org.hk
