Original Lyrics: BOW AND ARROW Lyrics (Romanized)
1.Before I knew it, my shoes were dirty, rain traced along a rusted double-edged blade
2.Admiration stayed as it was, and beyond waking from a dream lay yet another dream3.
4.I heard that crying voice, a sobbing soirée just before fading away
5.Beyond admiration, I’ll find you crouching, waiting6.
7.Go—go, at an unmatched speed. Fly, accelerating with impulse
8.Go—for I was born to feel this very moment9.

10.Seize the future, surpass expectations, as the wind pierces across your brow
11.Just watch—surely everyone will notice your brilliance
12.With a voice that fits you, surpass their gazes, transcend the void and keep going
13.Now, as you transform before my eyes, I let go of your hand14.
15.Before I knew it, the mysteries were solved, familiar wood grains beneath my feet
16.Have I become the kind of adult I once yearned for?17.
18.Yes, your struggles are pains you chose for yourself
19.And all the brilliance you’ve grasped—it’s entirely yours20.
21.I became the bow, taking your pale hand and drawing it back with strength
22.Now you’ve become an arrow, never swayed by the wind23.
24.Go—never look back, to a place beyond reach
25.Go—go, you’ve always shone brightly!26.
27.Seize the future, surpass expectations, as the wind pierces across your brow
28.Just watch—surely everyone will notice your brilliance
29.With a voice that fits you, surpass their gazes, transcend the void and keep going
30.Now, as you transform before my eyes, I let go of your hand
