Kamihitoe [Cover]

Gently, you laid the layers down - You tried to make it all perfect Yet some were torn or uneven Or worn out However, I think you are fine exactly as you are, Let’s gather up, like lost flakes of snow The fragments on the winds blown Restoring them to wholeness Hearts alike, near as a page’s breadth But where they seem to meet There is no intersection, so I deem So right this very moment We’ll snuggle up close together where we are… Within you dwells a soul I ache to truly see Ah~ But somewhere, someday - That same door to the dawn awaiting Yearning for that same dream that falls away Someone dear to your heart you see Now fill your thoughts this very day… And I have still this hope within me That I chase with all force that’s in me And someday will my voice cry out With the strength to make you hear Some day… Some day When I have grown much stronger… I won’t hide, deep inside I’ve yearned - I’ve yearned to change, oh, this whole time! And right now, what can I do As I am? Tell me what could help you What cou~ld I do for you? The more my fingers tell me where the fractures lie, The more I must look straight ahead, To where I see you standing So lonely… Within the wrinkles in the hand-made cloth the truth was plain Your tears had left their stains And to me all conveyed… Ah~ But somewhere, someday - I will fight through despair’s illusions At the instant when that strength shall arise - That same strength that you taught to me - It will awake in its own time! All the days that my heart’s stock-piled Filled with light and with shadows that it knows These will ever be deep inside And deep in me still draw breath! Though the wounds open ten times over, I will send you the love that guarded me And some day, I hope you find That it holds you safe from harm
