I’ll hold them tight, never letting go —
I’m here, still breathing,
Along with the things most precious to me.
The words you gave to me
Are stored in a corner
Inside me, even now —
They’re kept locked away with care…
Always there within my chest.
Each time I remember them, again and again,
They repeat inside my heart…
… adding to my strength in turn!
The wind blows in this city
And I’m living true to myself
So that I can stand pridefully before you.
I’ll hold them tight, never letting go –
I’m right here, still breathing,
Along with the things most precious to me.
I had the feeling something might change…
But the world we live in
Spins so indifferently
And nothing ever changes,
Despite how different I’ve become.
I don’t really need to save the world,
But I’m keeping the things most precious to me
Clenched ever so tightly.
How far have we managed
To proceed since then?
It suddenly all comes back to me;
I’m certain, the future resulting
From the days we spent together back then,
Can be found right here.
