Finding My Light Again

Through the falling cherry blossoms

Like pieces of a puzzle fitting together

I want to escape from this perfect world

With bottled-up feelings and hidden dreams,

Going on a journey of my own

Under the endless sky, I want to fly free

Through the falling stars

Like us, finding our way with no destination

Holding the wheel without a plan

Heading into the unknown

Without fear, making new paths

With a pounding heart and bright eyes

Feeling like anything is possible

I will dream again

All the dreams I had when I was young

Pieces of forgotten hope

Collecting them to find my light again

Reigniting the fire inside me

Letting my deep passion

Burn brightly once more

Not trapped by the world's rules

Starting a journey to find my own light

At the end of that road, meeting the real me

Moving strongly towards that dream

With tired wings spread wide,

And hope shining in my eyes

And one day,

When my light shines on the world

I will know I have found my light again

Feeling that deep emotion inside

On the day I find my light again,

The day I meet my true self.


Without Reason

Without reason

Becoming the sea, waiting you

Even beyond the waves,

Holding onto endless longing,

Without reason

Becoming the wind, embracing you

Even within me,

Enfolding endless swaying longing,

Without reason

Becoming the star, shining upon you,

Even in the darkest of nights,

Our family.

In moments when the weight of longing presses on the heart,

Tears may flow without knowing.

The deeper the longing,

The more tenderly love is felt.
