Artist: The Back Horn
Title: Kiseki
Words: Matsuda Kenji
Music: The Back Horn

where you goin', a breakwater with reddened eyes
tired out from crying, eventually you realized
you're bidding farewell to the sky
now burning so beautifully

stuffing your hopes for tomorrow into a bottle
you set them afloat on the raging seas of despair
go on, swim on forever
until we come across each other.

I invest this, the hand I grab in my final moments, with warmth
And then I'll hear, the first cry screaming from a new life
I won't forget the miracle it takes to one day get there.

we're all lost children who lost the child within
wandering in search of an answer with no answer
swim onward unaware
feeling these days as you do

I can open the future shining bright with these hands
the story played by the lives pouring out from this glimmering world
the miracle this endless pulse repeats

Coelacanth our Mother the sea connects life
high speed, a raw beat, miracles over and over again
deadheat, there's only one place to aim for
carry out, my voice! traverse time and space
and go on to forever

I invest this, the hand I grab in my final moments, with warmth
And then I'll hear, the first cry screaming from a new life
I won't forget, the mriacle it took to get here.
