The seasons run on by, out of breath;
I try to keep up an impulse all too faint.
By the time I take notice, everyone’s changing their faces;
Anxious of those around me, I call everything that’s white, “black”.
But I don’t want to lie to myself,
‘Cause there’s more than just one form of happiness!
Rather than variant strength, I want strength that never changes.
Placing my hand upon my heart, I’ll make an effort to love myself!
Rather than variant strength, I want strength that never changes –
Not for anyone else’s sake – right now, as I head for the future!
Constantly messing things up, my tears just won’t stop;
My purity is stained by a desire to change.
So rather than following the rails laid before me…
I’d rather go to that world in my dreams… that I fell so in love with!
I need to stop blaming others,
Honestly embracing each and every emotion!
Rather than variant strength, I want strength that never changes.
Placing my hand upon my heart, I’ll make an effort to love myself!
Rather than variant strength, I want strength that never changes –
Not for anyone else’s sake – right now, as I head for the future!
On an endless journey, an unfamiliar wind blew:
I heard a voice saying, “You should just give up already!”
But that was my imagination – my own weakness.
This journey to find myself, and not anyone else, will keep going on forever!
The tears I cried will not go to waste;
They still remain, shining upon the tracks of my memories.
The tears I cried are urging me along;
They won’t let this end as nothing but a dream – no way!
Rather than variant strength, I want strength that never changes.
Placing my hand upon my heart, I’ll make an effort to love myself!
Rather than variant strength, I want strength that never changes –
Not for anyone else’s sake – right now, as I head for the future!
I won’t let this end as nothing but a dream: I believe in myself!
