世界が泣いてるなら (Sekai ga naiteru nara) – If the world is crying
from Green Flash single.
——
The sad events being broadcasted on TV
By a disinterested newscaster
Taking care not to mess up on his last-minute script
He read on in a mechanical voice
No matter what painful things happen
Humans will get used to it
Averting their eyes from the wound to forget the pain…
If
The world is crying
I will sob too
I can’t pretend
That there is nothing wrong
If someone is crying
Let’s stand still together with them
If I stay apathetic
Then there’s no value in being alive
A page on the news, vivid tears
Chains of dispute are the road to despair
Is there anywhere I can hold hands with someone and set doves free?
Tell me, oh wise one
Those who feel sorrow in their hearts
Will surely switch the channel
To watch something funny, right?
If
The world is crying
I will sob too
I can’t say it’s not my problem
Just because it’s happening in a faraway country
If someone is crying
Those around should help
Because I am one of the people
Living in this same era
“I am powerless, can’t do anything. I can only cry with you”
“I don’t want to become used to sorrow. So,
if the world is crying, I will sob too”
If
The world is crying
I will sob too
I can’t pretend
That there is nothing wrong
If someone is crying
Let’s stand still together with them
If I stay apathetic
Then there’s no value in being alive
