Taisetsu na kono omoi hikitsurete

God's precious gift of life Is dolled out unfairly Children in foreign countries Disappear due to ugly war and poverty It all far surpasses The emotions I can imagine Faced with the horrible truth Of inestimable pain Tears I can no longer hold back spilled over As I thought about the meaning of life The history of the search for peace Is paradoxically a repetition of tragedies People went forth in battle To protect the ones they loved Resulting in countless sacrifices But they still had hope I will mourn those people And think about what it means to live life to the fullest Though there are those who took their own lives There are also those who wished With all their hearts, "I want to live" Don't ever forget that... And take this precious love with you
