Don't say good-bye, I say hello

Been worried over something for some time,
in a driving rain, even your dream got drenched
heard the rambling conversations, and the hollow voice over the phone.
sitting in an uncomfortable chair, couldn't love yourself as you are now,
like a flightless bird.
you've lost the one and only color in your otherwise quiet day.

Nowhere to go, standing at the edge of an era of competition.
in the coming new dawn, the woman you love is there.

Don't say good-by, I say hello

I can see the truth,
past the calm way I've handled my frustrations up till now
I smile at myself for screwing up at the important part
where I tried to understand you
at the end of the long months and oblivion,
I learned 'you live and you learn' even if I grow up,
no matter how... no matter how I wish for forever,
soon it won't matter, soon I'll die.

there's a silent darkness in the direction of lost peace
remember the kindness of instinct, the ultimate warmth

I won't forget the sky of the day we met,
the rainbow bridge full of hope
take down the the despair resting on your shoulders,
challenge the cruelty of times to a fight

I'm not confident I can get it out right,
for now maybe I'll just mail you a long letter.
by the time you read it, I'll probably be on stage screaming in a loud voice.
even in these times where "money talks",
even in this bloody air,
I saw you remove someone else's pain with a skilled kindness.

Don't forget the peak of your life is still yet to come,
all the time, all your days, covering your weakness.

Don't forget precious, you're loved
by your Dad
by your Mom
by your Sister & Brother

Now and forever more than ever
we're King
we're Queen
we're Fighters and Dreamers
