Some of the lyrics are in Eng\u00adlish, though most are in Man\u00addarin Chi\u00adnese (peo\u00adple in Tai\u00adwan usu\u00adally speak a vari\u00adety of Fukienese at home, but Man\u00addarin is the offi\u00adcial lan\u00adguage, taught in school). The melodies are some\u00adtimes bor\u00adrowed. Dis\u00adcon\u00adcert\u00adingly, the last song on the album is to the tune of \u201cWhat a Friend We Have in Jesus\u201d.\u2026.
