| 嵐の女神 あなたには敵わない 心の隙間を埋めてくれるものを 探して 何度も遠回りしたよ たくさんの愛を受けて育ったこと どうしてぼくらは忘れてしまうの 嵐の後の風はあなたの香り 嵐の通り道歩いて帰ろう 忙しき世界の片隅 受け入れることが愛なら 「許し」ってなに? きっと... 与えられるものじゃなく、与えるもの どうして私は待ってばかりいたんだろう お母さんに会いたい 分かり合えるのも 生きていればこそ 今なら言えるよ ほんとのありがとう こんなに青い空は見たことがない 私を迎えに行こう お帰りなさい 小さなベッドでおやすみ |

Storm goddess, I am no match for you. Searching for something to bury in the gaps of my heart, I took detours many times over. Growing up with so much love, why do we all forget about it later on? The breeze after the storm smells like you. Walking the path of the storm, I'm going home, in a corner of this busy world. If you can accept love, then what is "forgiveness"? Surely... It isn't something to have, it's something to give. I wonder why I did nothing but wait. Mother, I want to see you. By living, we understand each other. Now I can say it, I truly thank you. I've never seen such a blue sky. I will go, hoping to be greeted with a "welcome home," and placed in a small bed with a "goodnight." |
