doushite koko made
jibun bakkari mamotte tandarou
hito no itami mo wakarazu kichattane
nanika dekiru koto atta darou ni
honto no watashi wa mou sukoshi yasashii
sunao ni narenai jibun ga modokashii
nani ka dekiru no? watashi ni wa?
*I want to know The meaning of peace & love
I want to know The meaning of your loneliness

sokode uzuku matte itemo ii
moufu ichimai dake demo ii
