Lyrics[]
Minamo o utsu youni
Toki no wa ga hirogari dasu
Tomatte ita ko no ha
Nagare e to michibiki
Oshinagasu
Modorenai mama
Dare no tame ni demo naku
Sekai wa tada
Kawari tsuzukeru
Todomareru mono wa nai
Toki no kishibe
Nagareru mama ni
Hito wa tabidatsu
Setsuna yume mite
Soshite tsuchi ni kaeritsuku
Kake yuku tsuki ni sae
Kataranai
Inochi ga aru
Kotoba ni suru youna
Muimisa o
Shiritsutsu mitsumeteru
Sugisaru mono o
Dare no tame ni demo naku
Sekai wa tada
Nozomi tsuzukeru
Koware yuku koto sae mo
Nanika ga mata
Umareru kizashi
Suna no shiro demo
Hito no inochi mo
Onaji yume o utsushiteru
Dare no tame ni demo naku
Sekai wa tada
Kawari tsuzukeru
Todomareru mono wa nai
Toki no kishibe
Nagareru mama ni
Hoshi wa tabidatsu
Setsuna yume mite
Yagate sora ni kaeritsuku
For water surface
My time starts to spread
It’s a small stop
Flows an image and guidance
Wash away
I can’t go away anymore
World harmony
Is not for anyone
It keeps changing
Stay in harmony
In the shores of time
And it keeps flowing
Dream for a moment
That people walk in harmony
And return to the soil
Don’t talk
Even if running
There is life
It’s meaningless
To put into words
I'm staring at you
As you pass by
World harmony
Is not for anyone
But it continues
Even things that break
Is a sign that
Something is born again
Even the whiteness of sand
and human life
I’m moving in the same dream
World harmony
Is not for anyone
It keeps changing
Stay in harmony
In the shores of time
And it keeps flowing
The stars and the constellations
Follow you on a journey
But they stay in the sky
To be added
