“I have not been left alone”
I persuaded myself as I escaped into the night
In the end, that only served
To carve my own loneliness into each day
Leaving the bustle, on the road home
Everything is as usual, but
Just by wondering if things will always repeat
Tears suddenly well up in my eyes
Helpless and miserable
Anxious and lonely
In a voice that is not a voice, I wished for warmth
Hey, honestly
You suddenly appeared
And shone light into my darkness
And then, you smiled a little
Told me everything was ok with a nod
Took my hand and set off with me
I saw angel’s wings on your back
My wish to become stronger
Was not because I wanted to dull the pain
You helped me, supported me
Accepted me, forgave me
On that day, I found something which I want to protect
Hey, sometimes
You seem to drop all defenses
And throw yourself at me with all you’ve got
That is just totally
Too dazzling, but
I am reluctant to even blink
You have angel’s wings on your back
Hey, honestly
You suddenly appeared
And shone light into my darkness
And then, you smiled a little
Told me everything was ok with a nod
Took my hand and set off with me
Hey, sometimes
You seem to drop all defenses
And throw yourself at me with all you’ve got
That is just totally
Too dazzling, but
I am reluctant to even blink
You have angel’s wings on your back
I wish that you will never become
A sacrifice in these times of sorrow
So in order to let these earnest thoughts reach you
I sing this song again today like a prayer

KANJI
ひとりぼっちなんかじゃないんだと
夜に逃げ込んで言い聞かせた
結局それは自分の孤独を
日に日に浮き彫りにしてくだけだった
喧騒から離れた帰り道
いつもと何も変わらないのに
繰り返してくのかと思ったら
急に涙が込み上げて来た
頼りなくて情けなくて
不安で淋しくって
声にならない声で温もりを欲しがった
ねぇ君は確かに
突然現われ
私の暗闇に光射した
そして少し笑って
大丈夫だって頷いて
私の手を取って歩きだした
君の背に天使の羽を見た
強くなりたいと願ったのは
痛みに鈍くなる為じゃない
助けられて支えられて
与え合って許し合った
あの日守って行きたいものが出来たから
ねぇ君は時々
無防備すぎるくらい
私に全てでぶつかって来る
それはあまりにも
眩しすぎる程で
私は瞬きさえも惜しむの
君は背に天使の羽を持つ
ねぇ君は確かに
突然現われ
私の暗闇に光射した
そして少し笑って
大丈夫だって頷いて
私の手を取って歩きだした
ねぇ君は時々
無防備すぎるくらい
私に全てでぶつかって来る
それはあまりにも
眩しすぎる程で
私は瞬きさえも惜しむの
君は背に天使の羽を持つ
この悲しき時代の犠牲者に
君はどうかならないで欲しい
切なる想いが届くようにと
私は今日も祈るように歌う
