[masa]

If I suddenly disappear now, for instance
Would someone search for me?
Can I wait until I'm found
Believing that people are kind?

Which is harder
Becoming a grown-up
Or staying an innocent child?
I'll stop asking such questions
If you bloom ...

In this city crowded with countless people
Is there anyone who listens to me?
Does this continuing, never-ending cry
Reach anyone?

What kind of courage do you need
To grow straight
Just beautifully, being loved
Knowing you will fall some day?

Which is harder
Becoming a grown-up
Or staying an innocent child?
I'll stop asking such questions
If you bloom ...

What kind of strength do you need
To grow straight
Being proud, even if you are stepped on
Knowing you will fall some day?

Which is more fearful
Looking back on the past days
Or looking forward to tomorrow?
I'll stop asking such questions
If you bloom ...

(I watered a flower, and found small affliction.)
