获奖作品《Rebirth》
创作者说:“在黑暗中沉沦太久,灵魂仿佛被枷锁禁锢。生活像一场无尽的暴风雨,将我所有的热情熄灭。但我听到了内心深处的呼唤,那是重生的渴望。Rebirth,不只是一个词,是我挣脱束缚的决心。我要告别过去的懦弱与迷茫,像凤凰涅槃于烈火。每一道曾撕裂我的伤痕,都将成为重生的羽翼。不再畏惧前行的艰难,用汗水与勇气浇灌希望。即使未来仍有阴霾,我亦会在重生的道路上,一步一步,迈向新的曙光,让生命重新绽放绚烂光芒。”
The creator shared:
"I had been lost in darkness for too long, as if my soul was shackled in chains. Life felt like an endless storm, extinguishing every spark of passion within me. But then, I heard a voice deep within—a call for rebirth. Rebirth isn’t just a word; it’s my resolve to break free from the confines of my past. I am bidding farewell to the fear and confusion that once consumed me, rising like a phoenix reborn in the flames. Every scar that once tore me apart will now become wings of my rebirth.
I will no longer fear the hardships ahead. I will nurture hope with my sweat and courage. Even if clouds linger in the future, I will keep moving forward, step by step, on this path of renewal. I will embrace a new dawn and let my life bloom once again in brilliant colors."

获奖作品《Just to love》
创作者说:“在时光长河徘徊,心曾似孤舟。直至你出现,如星子落海。Just to love,是我此刻坚定的念。愿舍繁华万千,伴你走过风雨流年。不理会蜚语流言,不惧岁月变迁。爱,是我奔赴的方向,与你共度的每瞬,皆成诗画,镌刻于灵魂深处。”
The creator shared:
"Drifting along the river of time, my heart once felt like a solitary boat—until you appeared, like stars falling into the sea. Just to love is the unwavering thought I hold in this moment. I would gladly trade a thousand worldly splendors to walk through life’s storms and seasons with you.
I care not for the whispers of gossip nor the relentless march of time. Love is the direction I choose to follow, and every moment spent with you becomes poetry and art, etched deeply into the core of my soul."

G11-7-(1)
获奖作品《星辰的孩子》
创作者说:“这首歌曲是我在2024年5月份与同学一同前往湖南省永顺县参加支教回来后的有感而发。在前往那所学校之前,我从未想过在经济如此发达的当今社会,真的会有吃不饱饭的孩子。在那里,整所小学共四十来个孩子,一共六名教师。这些老师一个人教授好几个学科,甚至他们自己也说不好普通话,由此可见,那里的孩子们无法接受到好的教育,更别提走出大山了。因此,我希望能创作这样一首歌曲让更多人关注到留守儿童这个群体,也给予他们一些帮助。”
The creator shared:
"This song was inspired by my trip to Yongshun County, Hunan Province, in May 2024, where I participated in a teaching assistance program with my classmates. Before visiting that school, I could never have imagined that in such a prosperous era, there are still children who struggle to have enough to eat.
The entire primary school had only around 40 children and six teachers. Each teacher was responsible for teaching multiple subjects, and some could not even speak standard Mandarin fluently. This highlighted how the children there are deprived of access to quality education, let alone the opportunity to venture beyond the mountains that confine them.
Through this song, I hope to draw more attention to the plight of left-behind children and encourage people to offer them support and assistance."

获奖作品《寻》
创作者说:“在城市的喧嚣与霓虹灯下,我常常迷失。每日奔波在车水马龙间,心灵被忙碌与疲惫填满。我看着镜子里的自己,眼神中透着迷茫与困惑,不禁问:“这真的是我想要的生活吗?”周围的声音太多,他人的期待如重重枷锁,压得我喘不过气。于是我踏上这寻找自我之旅。在静谧的深夜,我独自徘徊在街头巷尾,听着内心深处的渴望。我抛开那些伪装与迎合,去触碰真实的灵魂。我开始为自己而活,追逐儿时那纯粹的热爱。每一次跌倒,每一次受伤,都是成长的印记。我不再在意他人的眼光,只专注于内心的声音。这首歌是我的心声,是我挣脱束缚、拥抱自我的誓言。在这漫长的人生道路上,我要为自己绽放光芒,书写属于自己的故事,无论前方有多少风雨,我都坚定地走在为自己开辟的道路上。”
The creator shared:
"Amid the hustle and neon lights of the city, I often find myself lost. Each day is a race through the bustling streets, my soul weighed down by the fatigue and busyness of life. Looking into the mirror, I see confusion and doubt in my eyes, and I can’t help but ask: ‘Is this the life I truly want?’
The noise around me is overwhelming, and the expectations of others feel like chains, suffocating me. So, I set out on a journey to rediscover myself. In the stillness of the night, I wander through streets and alleys, listening to the deepest desires of my heart. I shed the masks and pretenses, reaching out to touch my true soul.
I began living for myself, chasing the pure passions of my childhood. Every fall, every wound became a mark of growth. I stopped caring about others’ judgments and focused solely on the voice within. This song is my declaration, my vow to break free from the constraints and embrace my true self.
On this long road of life, I will shine for myself, crafting my own story. No matter how many storms lie ahead, I will steadfastly walk the path I’ve carved for myself."

获奖作品《Star Dream》
创作者说:“在黑暗宇宙,我是渺小追星者。星辰遥不可及,可梦想在心中燃烧。孤独旅程,穿越冰冷陨石带,冲破迷茫星云团。虽举步维艰,却从未放弃。因 star dream 是希望灯塔,引领我在浩瀚星河穿梭,定要拥抱那星芒,让梦想绽于宇宙。”
The creator shared:
"In the vast darkness of the universe, I am but a small stargazer. The stars seem out of reach, yet the fire of dreams burns brightly within me. On this solitary journey, I traverse through freezing asteroid belts and push through nebulous clouds of confusion. Though each step is a struggle, I have never given up.
For star dream is my beacon of hope, guiding me as I navigate the boundless galaxy. I am determined to embrace that starlight and let my dreams shine brilliantly across the universe."
歌词组优秀奖

G9-1
获奖作品《音》
创作者说:“这首歌写的是北宋末期和南宋时期国家残山剩水的凄凉之景:官吏趋炎附势、穷奢极欲,百姓饥寒交迫、哀鸿遍野。而当国家灭亡,官吏们有的做鸟兽散,有的悔不当初。如此可悲之景令人叹息。我想借用宋朝的衰落、遗民的悔恨交加,告诫自己以及同学们,要做好生活中、学习上的每一件事,不留遗憾、问心无愧。”
The creator shared:
"This song reflects the desolate landscape of the Northern Song's decline and the Southern Song period—when the nation was left with fragmented mountains and rivers. Corrupt officials sought personal gain and indulged in extravagance, while the common people suffered from hunger and cold, their cries of despair echoing far and wide.
When the country ultimately fell, some officials fled like scattered birds, while others were consumed by regret for their past actions. Such a tragic scene evokes deep sorrow. Through the Song dynasty's decline and the remorse of its survivors, I hope to remind myself and my peers to approach every task in life and study with diligence and integrity, leaving no room for regret and ensuring a clear conscience."
