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.
