Invisible Wings (隐形的翅膀) by Angela Chang (张韶涵). This song is from the Taiwanese singer Angela Chang, and it’s a nice, easy-going pop song, with really uplifting lyrics.
The basic message is that the singer has a pair of invisible wings, so she can be strong and conquer over everything. The video may be all about the singer, but the lyrics are slow and fairly easy to learn, so this is a good song to have in your karaoke arsenal!

At last I soar, and I look down carefully without feeling afraid

Wherever there is wind, I will fly far away

Leaving a wish so I can imagine.
