So open up your mornin' light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive Then see the peace in every eye She had two babies, one was six months, one was three In the war of '44 Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging When she thought it was God calling her Oh, would her son grow to know his father? I don't want to wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be sorry? He showed up all wet on the rainy front step Wearing shrapnel in his skin And the war he saw lives inside him still It's so hard to be gentle and warm The years pass by and now he has granddaughters I don't want to to wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be? Oh do you look at me from across the room You're wearing your anguish again Believe me I know the feeling It sucks you into the jaws of anger Oh so breathe a little more deeply my love All we have is this very moment And I don't want to do what his father His father, his father did I want to be here now So open up your mornin' light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive Then see the people in every eye I don't want to to wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be? I don't want to wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be sorry?

もう戻れないよ どんなに懐かしく想っても あの頃確かに楽しかったけど それは今じゃない 思い出している いつも不器用な 幕の引き方をしてきたこと 君はどこにいるの 君はどこへ行ったのか 遠い旅にでも出たんだね一番大切な人と もしも私から何かを 口にしていたのなら 終わりが見えてる 始まりなんかじゃなかったはずだね 泣いても欲しがる子供のようには なれなくて精一杯のサヨナラ そして歩いて行く ひとり歩いてみるから 君のいなくなった道でも 光照らしていける様に 人は哀しいもの 人は哀しいものなの? 人はうれしいものだって それでも思ってていいよね そして歩いて行く 君も歩いてくんだね ふたり別々の道でも 光照らしていける様に

僕らはそんなにも 多くのことなど 望んだりはしていないよずっと 灰色のビルの 影に隠れて じっとしてるものは何だろうって 目をこすりながらも のぞき込んだんだ 自分だったりあのコや君だった 孤独で何も見えなくなったんじゃない もう何も見たくなかったんだ 僕らはきっと幸せになるために 生まれてきたんだって 思う日があってもいいんだよね ほら耳を澄ませば聞こえてくる 内に秘めた祈りに似た叫びが いつかあの川で 流れてたものは 壊れた夢のかけらだったね 守られなかった 約束にいちいち 傷ついてみたりしてたんだ 僕らはいつか幸せになるために 生きて行くんだって 思う日があってもいいんだよね この瞳に映るものが全て キレイなわけじゃない事を知っても 目の前の悲劇にさえ 対応出来ずに 遠くの悲劇になど 手が届くはずもなく 僕らはきっと幸せになるために 生まれてきたんだって 思う日があってもいいんだよね 本当は扉を開きたいんだって 口に出して言ってみればいい 口に出して言ってみればいい

今日の うれしかった顔 今日の 悲しかった顔 きのう 弱かった自分と 明日きっと 強い自分と あなたなら 誰に見せてる 私なら 誰に見せればいい 時間なんてものはとても 時として残酷で でもその残酷さゆえに 今が創られて 人を求めやまないのは 一瞬の解放が やがて訪れる恐怖に 勝っているから 足元で揺れている花にさえ 気付かないままで 通り過ぎてきた私は鏡に 向かえなくなっている 今日の うれしかった顔 今日の 悲しかった顔 昨日 癒された傷と 今日 深く開いた傷を あなたなら 誰に見せてる 私なら 誰に見せればいい 与えられた自分だけの 正気と狂気があって そのどちらも否定せずに 存在するなら ムダなもの溢れてしまったもの 役立たないものも 迷わずに選ぶよ そう 私が 私であるためにね 幸せの 基準はいつも 自分のものさしで 決めてきたから 今日の うれしかった顔 今日の 悲しかった顔 きのう 癒された傷が 今日 開きだしたとしても あなたなら 誰に見せれる 私なら あの人に見せたい
