1.I think of you and sing,
2.Always, even in my pitiful way,
3.I’m standing properly.”
4.Someone was talking about love and peace,
5.It seemed so trivial.6.
7.Waiting at the signal as it changes from green to red,
8.I was hit by ideologies through a megaphone,
9.I put on my headphones and turned a blind eye,
10.Even though I’m such an insensitive fool.11.
12.Ah, you’re singing by my ear,
13.Even though you can’t walk,
14.You’re still standing tall.
15.This morning, someone was preaching peace again,
16.Like a child who just can’t forgive.17.
18.If I were to write a song,
19.What kind of lyrics would I put to it?20.
21.The things I can’t say keep piling up,
22.I stopped my long-standing thoughts.
23.I got sick of it and stopped even hoping,
24.Even though I’m such an arrogant and foolish person.25.
26.At the edge of a pale sky,
27.I became such a new star,
28.I don’t know how to shine,
29.So I don’t catch anyone’s eye.30.
31.In a town where not a single sound echoes,
32.I became such a singer,
33.I don’t know how to sing,
34.Even if no one hears me.35.
36.You were singing by my ear.37.
38.I want to keep thinking of you and singing,
39.Always unreliable, but
40.I want to stand firm.
41.Someone else can talk about love and peace,
42.With just a simple, unadorned heart.43.
44.If I became a star,
45.What kind of lyrics would I sing?
46.What words would I use to express myself,
47.In this world, as me?
