The sound of wandering footsteps disappeared, replaced by a song of prayer;
Will it become a flame, a beacon for those who continue on?
Our eyes are the color of night, the same black as the clearest sky,
Since we were left behind by certainty, went on a journey, and learned too much.
The map we’ve been given is very exact and it carries our bodies onward.
In order for me to not get lost in this hasty world,
Tell me
That one and only name.
Until the end, I want to be with you. There’s nothing I’m more certain of.
This is the only place I can draw breath; I’ll give anything to protect it.
Let’s go to the foot of that rainbow; we’ll reach a place where no one else resides.
We gave our hearts wings, saying, “Run away to wherever you please,”
But they wiped away our tears, saying, “Don’t run away.”
A rain of judgement seeps through to our very lives; as creatures unable to fly, we’re stuck within this quagmire,
But that itself is a freedom we’ve found on this single, straight path.
Don’t let go; no matter how far off it is,
I’ll take you along.
If you get scared, I want you to scream. If you’re here by my side, I want you to let me know.
By intertwining our trembling bodies, I want you to show me that I’m not alone.
It doesn’t matter if we can never again laugh as we did that day. After all,
We’ve come this far in these bodies of ours.
I want to live on without making promises, so that when it looks like the end is near,
I’ll say, “This is the place!”, calling that name I was told, again and again,
So that the end will never reach us.
In this overly vast world, we were chosen.
Tell me
That one and only name.
Until the end, I want to be with you. There’s nothing I’m more certain of.
This is the only place I can draw breath; I’ll give anything to protect it.
If you get scared, I want you to scream. If you’re here by my side, I want you to let me know.
Until the end, I want to be with you. There’s really nothing I’m more certain of.
Let’s go to the foot of that rainbow. We’ll always be together, don’t leave my side,
It doesn’t matter if we can never again laugh as we did that day. We’ll reach a place where no one else resides.
