But once in a while, take a breath
If you’re tired, take a rest
Look up at the sky hidden by buildings
Then walk on after that
Overwhelmed and in a hurry
No time to catch our breath
Moving from one thing to the next (and the next)
Every day is restless
Without realizing, we’re weighed down
We get used to the pain
But once in a while, take a breath
If you’re tired, take a rest
Look up at the sky hidden by buildings
Then walk on after that
Tomorrow and the next day, morning turns to night, back to day
Sometimes rain turns to shine, sometimes wait and become kind
Stained with sweat is this story
Unable to see what’s ahead is my worry
Escaping a net to find a cage
Just stopping at dead ends
(It’s always like that)
Rather than rely on the gods, when things get bad you learn
what’s more important:
Give yourself some slack
We’re being swallowed up
Getting lost and hitting rock bottom
If your bated breath and this voice
Seem to disappear among the rest…
From now on if you think you’ll break
Turn around and go back from there
If you’re gonna keep on worrying
Don’t bottle things up too much
Once in a while, take a breath
In this world that keeps changing
Look up at the sky hidden by buildings
Then walk on after that
