It’s just like a burning torch in the storm,
Like a little flower blooming in the home…
Come raise your mighty will above you like a fire…
And it won’t hurt, once in a while, to be kind.

A misty moon…
I’m missing you…
Hugging your knees within the shifting of the sea,
Just when your heart begins to beat…

Listen to me
Cleave your way again!
Again!
Carve out your own path through life
To live from oaths unbound — fight on!
Though in the distorted sky
You might still see each one of those shadowed hands

That bedew your eyes.
You’re not alone.
So now
Staring shadows in the face
Come embrace your inner flame!

It’s just like a lighthouse in your hands,
Like a little flag flapping in the sands,
Though you’re surprised to find it in your long-lost mem’ries
You’ll find that striking on your own was no mistake.

A floating moon…
You still croon…
Fixing your gaze upon the gaps between the waves,
Seeing the shore, do not be swayed.

Listen to me
Sail away again!
Again!
Illumined by hopes and dreams
Go brave the seas untamed and wild.

Now with ev’ry voice enjoined
Charting courses through a world with no one truth
Still we raise our sails.
You’re not alone,
So now
Go and brave the storm-tossed waves,
As you make the shadows fade…

May your splendours all increase…
While the sounds of the storm-winds and rain weave their notes
Into one great song.
It’s the tune of the far distant lands that you seek —
Oh, for which you long!
Think how the sea and the sky unfold
Sea and shore steeped in lustre gold —
Before long there will come such a day
That you can celebrate…

Though there is no such road you can take without pain,
In all the wide world,
There was never a thing on this Earth that was born
For others to hurt!

Do good to be good!
Do good to be good!

You’re not alone,
Go and brave the storm-tossed waves,
As you make the shadows fade…
In a future far away…
