I Am...
(verse 1)
listen closely, because I'll keep screaming
until it reaches you
I've always been right here, right here, right here, right here

chased by time
through semi-forced days
is there anything at the end of it all?
looking through lonely space
I can't tell anything at all

is my hurried way of living comical?
laugh at me, it's okay, go ahead
someday I will break out of this wall

(chorus)
I want you to look at me in the eye and call my name
I want you to hold my hand and nod to tell me it's alright
give me a gentle push, because I don't think I can walk otherwise
if you are lying, then at least keep telling me true lies until the end
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
abandoning my body to the passing of time
just what kind of place will I drift to?
is it warm or is it too cold?

will this self so full of contradictions
be forgiven, I want to know
tell me if you please

(chorus)
somehow understand that that is not what I am saying
somehow realize that this is not what I want at all
somehow release me, that's not the place I want to go, no way
I've always been searching for just one word
(end chorus)

(chorus)
I want you to look at me in the eye and call my name
I want you to hold my hand and nod to tell me it's alright
give me a gentle push, because I don't think I can walk otherwise
if you are lying, then at least keep telling me true lies until the end
(end chorus)

(chorus)
somehow understand that that is not what I am saying
somehow realize that this is not what I want at all
somehow release me, that's not the place I want to go, no way
I've always been searching for just one word
(end chorus)





Opening Run
(verse 1)
(run)





Connected
(verse 1)
I look for you
I will find you
I seek to see you again
and you'll find me
you'll locate me
you will come to me again

but then
we look out
we search forward
we go through so many things
so that
we get closer
we keep each other
and break separation again

(chorus)
that's because you and I
have many levels uncounted
these connections are our lives
so intertwined
so united we are
and our thoughts are united too
you and I have become connected
already
and before we grow old
yes, before comes eternal sleep
how many times have we come to experience this?
for the words will turn real
and united are you and I
thus our purpose gets continually fulfilled
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
(verse 1)
I look for you
I will find you
I seek to see you again
and you'll find me
you'll locate me
you will come to me again

but then
we look out
we search forward
we go through so many things
so that
we get closer
we keep each other
and break separation again

(chorus)
that's because you and I
have many levels uncounted
these connections are our lives
so intertwined
so united we are
and our thoughts are united too
you and I have become connected
already
(end chorus)




UNITE!
(verse 1)
I pray that we'll never again be separated
never ever again

there are things that, hey, I want to tell you
you can share fun times with anyone
but in hard and sad times, yeah yeah
nobody else in the world can fill your spot

in this age when it's difficult
to even dream a dream
I don't want to forget you

(chorus)
freedom in our right hand
love in our left hand
let's carry them as we walk and stumble at times
the same morning coming is depressing
and suddenly, the square sky seems empty
la la
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
at daybreak there have been
times when I suddenly shed tears
I got things across even when crying

(chorus)
people are transient
but, you know, they are so strong
because they just are
woah
(end chorus)

(bridge)
you are right here
the one I need to protect with my single life

(chorus)
freedom in our right hand
love in our left hand
let's carry them as we walk and stumble at times
the same morning coming is depressing
and suddenly, the square sky seems empty
la la la la
wow wow wow
(end chorus)






Evolution
(verse 1)
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la

that's right it seems like
we've welcomed a new era
it may be miraculous
it's something we can never again taste
remember once more
the glory that was

(chorus)
on the day we were born on this earth
we were certainly somehow happy
we were certainly somehow sad
we were crying
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
reality is a traitorous thing
so even our judgement is wrong
so ascertain it's worth
with your own eyes
with your own measure
it won't be long
before you see it too

(chorus)
we were born in these times
but somehow we are moving forward
that's why somehow we're standing here
we're transmitting today
wow yeah wow yeah wow yeah
we were born on this earth
somehow very happy
somehow very sad
crying out in a loud voice
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah
(end chorus)

(bridge)
we were born in these times
but I was able to meet you
(we were born in these times
but I was able to meet you)

we were born on this earth
that's why I was able to meet you
(we were born on this earth
that's why I was able to meet you)

(chorus)
on the day we were born on this earth
we were certainly somehow happy
we were certainly somehow sad
we were crying
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah
(end chorus)

(chorus)
we were born in these times
but somehow we are moving forward
that's why somehow we're standing here
we're transmitting today
wow yeah wow yeah wow yeah
(end chorus)





Naturally
(verse 1)
"I want to go to that place"
I get ready to go out on a journey
and after I just keep running earnestly

the closer I get
the more I vaguely start to notice
yet I still pretend not to see it

but I began to hesitate
when I reached the point
where I couldn't retrace my steps
and cried because I was afraid
to even stand still
and felt like I was going to break
so you said to me
"what's the sad thing you're giving up?"

(chorus)
by collecting, displaying, and gazing
only at beautiful things
and only having pretty dreams
was I just lamenting reality?
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
I tried making
the shape of happiness
but it's the same as love not having a reason
yes, I'm sure I thought
too hard about it in my mind
I was searching for an answer
that would never appear
I no longer need days that are just for fun

(chorus)
while chasing and being chased
it seemed like I would even
lose sight of my whereabouts
I turned my back while closing my eyes
so that I wouldn't be hurt anymore
(end chorus)

(chorus)
by collecting, displaying, and gazing
only at beautiful things
and only having pretty dreams
was I just lamenting reality?
(end chorus)

(chorus)
no matter what kind of place this is
no matter where I pass through from here
I'll share freedom and loneliness
I feel like I can go naturally now
(end chorus)





NEVER EVER
(verse 1)
so surely, before I was born
I have been searching for something
that won't change
at times when I found it
and then lost it
there were nights where I hurt others

(chorus)
if you could have just one wish to come true
what would it be, I wonder?
if you could have just one wish to come true
what would it be, I wonder?
what would you wish for?
what would you wish on this sky for?
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
next to my feelings of strongly wanting
I started to feel I resigned somewhere
when I found it and released it
there were nights where I hurt myself

(chorus)
if I were able to offer you something
what would you want, I wonder?
if I were able to offer you something
what would you want, I wonder?
it's be a sure, unchanging love from me
(end chorus)

(bridge)
if you smile even just a little
then there is still a reason to live here
if you want me even just a little
I wonder if I will still be allowed to live here

(chorus)
if you could have just one wish to come true
what would it be, I wonder?
if you could have just one wish to come true
what would it be, I wonder?
what would you wish for?
what would you wish on this sky for?
hey
(end chorus)

(chorus)
if I were able to offer you something
what would you want, I wonder?
if I were able to offer you something
what would you want, I wonder?
it's be a sure, unchanging love from me
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
yes, a sure, unchanging love
hey, it's right here





Still Alone
(verse 1)
now where are you walking
and what are you gazing at?
are you still chasing after
the dream you once talked to me about

I really loved
your profile as you talked about the future

(chorus)
in order for you to protect your dreams
I could not be with you, still alone
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
always looking at this scenery
in this place
how much anxiety and confusion
did you fight against?

only after I became alone
did the things I understand increase

as long as you didn't let go of this hand
I felt like I could go anywhere

(chorus)
as long as you didn't let go of this hand
I felt like I could go anywhere
when we walked on the same path
I believed that without a doubt
I'm still alone
and yet, why did I, I wonder
and yet, why did I, I wonder
but I, why did I
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
do you remember our promise?
there's not a day I've forgotten it





Daybreak
(verse 1)
having lost my face
because of these times
I have lived all these long years
clinging to my own existence

now, let's stand up together
fight to win yourself
before you lose it all

(chorus)
no matter how far apart we are
we are still under the same sky
do not forget that we're both traveling
to the place we once dreamed of, yeah yeah
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
light and shadow are really the same thing
if you close your eyes
you can see them on your own

both of the sadness and the happiness as well too
and the hope at the end of the pain

(chorus)
no matter how far apart we are
we are always together, we are
remember that even when you feel
crushed by the weight of the world
there's someone out there who loves you
(end chorus)

(bridge)
these things are not random
maybe everything is inevitable

(chorus)
no matter how far apart we are
we are still under the same sky
do not forget that we're both traveling
to the place we once dreamed of, yeah yeah
(end chorus)




Taskinlude
(verse 1)
(we are all people
we are all waiting for that day
we are all people
we are all waiting for that day)



M
(verse 1)
"Maria" there is someone that I know I should love
every person who has ever had hurt feelings

as I look around
everyone busily hurries on by

I noticed that this year too
the signs of winter have come very soon
it's starting to get colder

again, somewhere in this city today
two people will meet and fall in love
the curtains are violently opened

(verse 2)
even so, everything eventually
someday, has an end
it's unfortunate, but it's true

again, somewhere in this city today
two people split apart
the curtains are quietly dropped

(chorus)
"Maria" there is someone that I know I should love
at these times, I feel very, entirely lonely
however, my needs now are fulfilled
by the very person I should love too
(end chorus)

(chorus)
"Maria" there is someone that I know I should love
at these times, I bear very deep injuries
however, they are all completely healed
by the very person I should love too
(end chorus)

(chorus)
"Maria" everyone is crying too
"Maria" but right now I want to believe
"Maria" so I'm praying now and forever
that this is my final love right here
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
beginnings come at random
but endings always have a reason
I'm so sure too





A Song Is Born
(verse 1)
long ago, long ago
in the far off past
this world, this place
was born and so were we

in the ever-repeating history
we have inherited
a golden light known as life
in its beauty

(chorus)
but from here on, the only way
I can tell you
is by singing this song
listen closely to these words and la la melody
remember please, just one more time
the form this world should have
and please, don't forget
please, oh please, please don't forget
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
surely, surely
no one was hoping for those terrible things
hold the flowers
to your heart
and pray that someday
they may bloom into
beautiful flowers
ones that carry scents of peace and pure love

(chorus)
but from here on, the only way
I can tell you
is by singing this song
but from here on, I'd be glad
if you would just
lend me your ear for awhile
listen closely to these words and la la melody
remember please, just one more time
how we were born, crying, into this world
your dreams and hopes for tomorrow
are all right here
(end chorus)

(chorus)
but from here on, the only way
I can tell you
is by singing this song
but from here on, I'd be glad
if you would just
lend me your ear for awhile
listen closely to these words and la la melody
remember please, just one more time
the form this world should have
and please, don't forget
please, oh please, please don't forget
(end chorus)





Dearest
(verse 1)
it would be so nice
if we could
throw away everything, everything
but what is most important
reality is just, is just cruel

whenever I close my eyes
you are there
smiling at me
I am smiling too

(chorus)
ah, I hope for all eternity
your smiling face is with me always
until I never ever come back
until I fall into eternal sleep
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
are all people sad at all times?
they are forgetful creatures, aren't they?

for that which you should love forever
for that which gives love
give it your all

(chorus)
ah, when we met for the first time
we were so awkward, I remember
we have taken the long road
we have hurt each other along the way
(end chorus)

(chorus)
ah, I hope for all eternity
your smiling face is with me always
until I never ever come back
until I fall into eternal sleep
(end chorus)

(chorus)
ah, when we met for the first time
we were so awkward, I remember
we have taken the long road
but we have finally arrived
(end chorus)

(ending)
ah, ah
la la, la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la





No More Words
(verse 1)
surely so, surely so
as we live we know more, don't we
and so, and so
as we live we forget don't we

things that begin
always have an end
if you can live on
think always of that
but don't ever forget
keep it in your memory

(chorus)
if this world were split into
winners and losers
I'd rather be a loser
I always want to be a loser
forever and always
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
surely so, surely so
we are more beautiful when we are sad
that is why, that is why
we are dirtier when we are sad

to protect us and ours
we must sacrifice
something yet again
those who can live on
think always of that

(chorus)
if this world were split into
winners and losers
I'd rather be a loser
I always want to be a loser
forever and always
(end chorus)

(chorus)
what can I tell you?
I'm just a small, helpless person
that's all I'll say for now
because sometimes words
are completely powerless
no more words
they're completely powerless
(end chorus)




Endless Sorrow
(verse 1)
what if you are instantly alone
and suddenly become blind in your eyes
what if despite that you kept on
walking forward and did not look back

so come here
take my hand

(chorus)
if you have only got one wing
even if I only have one wing left
I will share my wing with you
so you can fly in the sky
forever more
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
what if there was nothing to believe in
could you still find hope somewhere out there?
what if all that is left is despair
could you still find happiness somewhere out there?

oh please, dear God
hear my prayers

(chorus)
in this era overflowing
with wingless angels
everywhere you look
(end chorus)

(chorus)
if you are left with no wings to fly
I still have one wing left for you so
together we can fly through the sky
together with this one wing and one heart
together, you and me, you and me
(end chorus)






Flower Garden
(verse 1)
1, 2, 3, 4

to you and to me
our walking paces
and all our experiences
are all different
aren't they?

for instance
when I felt despair
you find something pretty
a beautiful flower out in the wild

(chorus)
you are here with me
and I am here with you
that is all
that is everything
I want, yeah!
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
aye, aye
aye, aye

from today
yesterday is a memory
from today
tomorrow is an unknown light
isn't it?
if desire and chance meet
I'll jump in
without hesitation
with no problem

for instance
when I felt despair
you find something pretty
a beautiful flower out in the wild

(chorus)
you are here with me
and I am here with you
forever and always
to the ends of the earth
you are here with me
and I am here with you
that is all
that is everything
I want, yeah!
(end chorus)
