I looked up From a world of tall grass At the wide whirling scenery There was my small body Breathing too hard and searching for my senses Too afraid to exchange words I worried about having been born human But now I sing of love and dreams and hope As if making sure my voice still works Even if tomorrow morning This life should disappear I don't want To have regrets...anything but regrets Someday, yes, someday The reason for living here... This voice, this love will reach someone I thought I'd allowed those memories But I hurt someone In order to ascertain the shape The forgotten loneliness and tears Now shined As I gathered them up If we become adults through worry and pain I want to stay a child forever But little by little I began to walk Choosing what was important and what to discard When I open my eyes tomorrow morning I'll be a little bit older And the tears I cried today because I couldn't do anything Will be part of the past I believe...yes, I believe The path I chose after such hesitation Is the answer this insignificant life found The dawn breaks, drawing the light across the eastern sky I have dreams here that can never be erased Even if tomorrow morning This life should disappear I don't want To have regrets...anything but regrets Forever, no matter what happens I'll keep singing Until the day this voice disappears Along with the meaning of living here Even if tomorrow morning This life should disappear I don't want To have regrets...anything but regrets...
