A Town Nearing Spring
Hello - are you still worrying,
in the same place you were before?
Hello - as always, I'm doing what I can
just to make it through each day
Put on the clothes you like,
carry the bag you like,
listen to the music you like,
and feel free to just walk...
Rather than looking for one thing to hate,
find a hundred things to love,
somewhere in that town where you live...
As a gentle breeze blew around me,
I counted all of my goodbyes
Reaching out for an unreachable sky,
in the spring sunlight,
a beautiful flower bloomed...
Hello - though you're always bluffing,
more prone to crying than you think
Hello - I know better than anyone
the strengths you don't know yourself...
Past the season of piling snow,
past the season of roaring clouds,
at a pace that would suit you,
feel free to just walk...
Rather than moan over a person I hate,
I want to protect a person I love,
somewhere in this town without you...
I wasn't able to say goodbye;
on that day, I was all alone
But I gazed up at a gap in the clouds,
into a brilliantly shining ray of light...
"Don't go" - I couldn't speak the words,
so I left it up to the fickle winds
Leaving my remorseful shadow,
the spring train pushes forward...
As a gentle breeze blew around me,
I counted all of my joys
Reaching out for an unreachable sky,
a little flower bloomed...
And soon, in your town as well,
will a beautiful flower bloom...
