Hana (花) – Flower
from A Song for xx album.

If I suddenly disappear from this place now
Will you search for me alone?
Until you find me, can I believe
That people are kind, as I wait for you?
Becoming an adult, or
Being an innocent child
Which one is more painful?
I’ll stop asking such questions
If you will bloom
If we are in this city, in the midst of moving crowds
Will you listen to me alone?
Continuing on, never stopping
Will this scream reach someone?
Even while knowing that you will wilt someday
You grow beautiful so you will be loved
Reaching out and growing straight
Just what kind of courage is needed to do that?
Becoming an adult, or
Being an innocent child
Which one is more painful?
I’ll stop asking such questions
If you will bloom
Even while knowing that you will wilt someday
You stand proud even when you are stepped on
Reaching out and growing straight
Just what kind of power is needed to do that?
To repeat days which have passed, or
To look forward to tomorrow
Which one is more frightening?
I’ll stop asking such questions
If you will bloom

Tatoeba ima kyuu ni koko kara sugata wo keshitara
Hitori kurai sagasou toshite kure tari shimasu ka
Mitsukaru made hito wa yasashii mono to
Shinji nagara mattete ii no desu ka
Otona ni natte yuku koto to
Mujaki na kodomo de iru no wa
Docchi ga tsurai koto desu ka
Sonna shitsumon wa yamemashiyou
Anata ga saku no nara
Hitogomi de afurekaesu kono machi ni ita nara
Hitori kurai kikumimi motte kure tari shimasu ka
Tsuzuite yuku itsumademo owaranai
Kono sakebi wa dareka ni todokimasu ka
Itsuka chiru koto shiri nagara
Aisarete tada utsukushiku
Massugu ni nobiteyuku no wa
Donna yuuki ga irimasu ka
Otona ni natte yuku koto to
Mujaki na kodomo de iru no wa
Docchi ga tsurai koto desu ka
Sonna shitsumon wa yamemashiyou
Anata ga saku no nara
Itsuka chiru koto shiri nagara
Fumaretemo tada hokorashiku
Massugu ni nobiteyuku no wa
Donna chikara ga irimasu ka
Sugita hibi kurikaeru no to
Ashita ni kitai wo suru no wa
Docchi ga kowai koto desu ka
Sonna shitsumon wa yamemashiyou
Anata ga saku no nara

例えば今 急にここから姿を消したら
一人くらい探そうとしてくれたりしますか
見つかるまで 人は優しいものと
信じながら 待ってていいのですか
大人になっていくことと
無邪気な子供でいるのは
どっちが辛いことですか
そんな質問はやめましよう
あなたが咲くのなら
人ごみで溢れ返すこの街にいたなら
一人くらい聞く耳持ってくれたりしますか
続いて行く いつまでも終わらない
この叫びは 誰かに届きますか
いつか散ること知りながら
愛されて ただ美しく
まっすぐに伸びて行くのは
どんな勇気がいりますか
大人になっていくことと
無邪気な子供でいるのは
どっちが辛いことですか
そんな質問はやめましよう
あなたが咲くのなら
いつか散ること知りながら
踏まれても ただ誇らしく
まっすぐに伸びて行くのは
どんな力がいりますか
過ぎた日々 振り返るのと
明日に期待をするのは
どっちが怖いことですか
そんな質問はやめましよう
あなたが咲くのなら
