I make a cat’s cradle with unspoken words,
And grin shamelessly at how well I’ve done.

Even though the only thing I’m actually good at,
Is pushing down my emotions so that no one notices.

But the beautiful, weaving loop that I create,
Has a subtle power that pulls them back to me.

I’ll make a knot… tying up this feeling,
Tighter and tighter, so it can’t get away.
With each knot, I’ll tie everyone together,
Forging onward to a future of unending expectation.
Onward to tomorrow.

There really isn’t anything in particular I was after;
I merely sought what was available to me.

By the time I’d noticed, the road forward had been blocked,
And the landmarks I thought I’d cultivated were nowhere to be found.

But even if I can’t tell the difference between north and south,
If you’re waiting for me in the sky,

I’ll raise my hands up toward that undying light;
Intently, so that I won’t lose my way.
Even the moon, hanging its head above, is illuminated
As the answer and direction are revealed.

Shall we leave on a journey from here,
Setting out on an unstable boat?
Even if countless storms tear at our threads,
And the rain seeps into our bodies?

Through it all, I’ll make a knot again and again… tying up this feeling,
So that it will never, ever come undone.
With each knot, I’ll tie everyone together,
Forging onward to a future of unending expectation.
Onward to tomorrow,
With our dreams on board.

無言の言葉であやとりして
上手に出来たと笑ってみる

得意なのは誰にも気付かれぬように
心押し殺すこと　それひとつだけ

でもとりまく綺麗なループは柔い力で
手繰り寄せてくれるから

鮮やかに結んで　この気持ごと
離れないように固く固く
ひと結び　人を結んで
期待の止まない先へ
あすへ行こう

求めたものなど本当は無く
憧れることに憧れてた

気づいた時　歩いた道は塞がれ
蒔いた筈だった目印も見えない

北も南も見失って途方に暮れても
空で待っててくれるなら

今高くかざして　消えないあかり
迷わないように強く強く
うなだれた月も照らして
確かな答えを示す　みちしるべ

これから旅に出ようか
頼りない船に揺られ
数えきれない嵐に糸を断たれ
体に雨が染み込んでも

その度に何度も結んで　この気持ごと
解けないようにずっとずっと
ひと結び　人を結んで
期待の止まない先へ
あすへ行こう
希望乗せて行こう
