1.If, before being born
2.I had decided what kind of life this one would be
3.My face, my voice, my height, my lover
4.My job, my family, even how I would die
5.If I was the one up in the sky who chose it all6.
7.Then maybe I could live
8.Without blaming others so much
9.Maybe it would feel a little easier
10.What was it that I wanted myself
11.To learn
12.What was it that I wanted myself to feel?13.
14.I am living by what I chose
15.I am fighting with the weapon I chose
16.What is it that you are gripping so tightly?
17.For me, it is singing songs18.
19.I don’t want to be the same as everyone else
20.But I wish the world I see were the same
21.The beautiful scenery that child can see
22.I hope that someday I can see it too
23.If it can be decided up in the sky
24.Then in my next life, please properly
25.Give me eyes that can see
26.Eyes that can notice other people’s tears27.
28.That day I can’t tell anyone about
29.Will I really be able to take it with me to the grave?
30.You could even go on ahead of me
31.And get into the grave first, if you want
32.Even that child who looks so happy
33.Had nights when they couldn’t die and cried
34.And even I, who look happy
35.Had nights like that too36.
37.Will I be able to end myself
38.Without regrets?
39.Will I be able to tell God that I was happy?
40.You too
41.Live your life properly, without regret
42.And make yourself happy43.
44.You are living by what you chose
45.You are fighting with the weapon you chose
46.What is the one thing you cannot give up?
47.That is the meaning of your life
48.For me, it is singing songs
