Title: Innocence
Words: Hitomi
Music: Kitano Masato

counting the times as I walk, going forward in terror
the wind blowing on me is strong.
I'm looking for something in the world ahead of me.
but I can't find it, so I come to a stop.

beyond that sky continuing far into the distance, people who pity war.
the children who are sad day in and day out.
everyday changes the color of its face, tilting its head laughing
holding its little worries.

no matter how I decieve myself, no matter how I much I doubt,
there's nothing reflected there.

What I'm really looking for is a wish that's not just a lie,
and an unfathomable feeling.

"you need never change" "just be yourself"
this wish for peace of mind, right next to me.
If the warmth you gave me is still here with me,
I'll believe here and now that it has the power to change to kindness.

We'll be able to reborn.
once the sadness shoots through our hearts,
the direction of the wind will change.
When we feel the warmth pushing at our backs gently
I wonder if we can be stronger?
Our dreams are limitless.

No matter how I put up fronts, no matter how I struggle
The power I have now doesn't cut it,
The mirror which reflects my heart is you in front of me,
if you understand this now, we can make it.

We knock on this door called tomorrow which shakes me all too familiarly.
and then we get confused again, and surely we take to walking again.
if we start to lose our kindness, and hurt others,
we must try to remember the innocence in our hearts,
and the dreams we had as children,
then surely our passion will return to us.
