the meaning of peace

doushite koko made
jibun bakkari mamottetan darou
hito no itami mo wakarazu kichatta ne
nanika dekiru koto atta darou ni
honto no watashi wa mou sukoshi yasashii
sunao ni narenai jibun ga modokashii
nani ga dekiru no? watashi ni wa?
	Why, until now,
	Have I only been protecting myself?
	I came to misunderstand the pain of people, huh?
	On the probability that somethings are possible
	The real me is a bit more kind
	The me that can't become gentle is irritating
	What is possible? Within me?

*I want to know
 the meaning of peace & love
 I want to know
 the meaning of your loneliness*

*repeat

¤sukoshi demo  chotto demo
 sukutte ageru koto wo
 chippoke na watashi demo
 kangaete mitai kara
 hanashite ne kikasete ne
 anata no tooi tooi me no
 oku ni aru  yasashisa wo
 shiawase wo  samishisa wo  kanashisa wo¤
	Just a little bit, just a little while
	To help someone,
	It's just tiny me, but
	I try to think of it, so
	Let's talk and make each other listen.
	That which is inside of your
	Distant eyes: gentleness,
	Happiness, Loneliness, sadness...
	
soba ni ireba yokatta jibun ga
sobani iru dake
sore dake demo
hon no sukoshi  chotto demo
nanika no yakunitateru nara
SOFA de asa wo mukaetemo ii
soto de uzukumatteitemo ii
moufu ichimai dake demo ii
	Myself, that wanted others to be by my side,
	Is only by my side.
	It's just that, but
	Just a little bit, just a little while,
	If something is useful
	It's okay to face the morning on your sofa
	It's okay to cower outside
	It's okay if you only have one blanket.

(* repeat twice)

ima made wa  kono hoshi [kanji: chikyuu] ga
watashi wo tsutsundekureteta
mawatteta  ugoiteta
jiyuu ni natteru ki ga shita
iki nante  dekiru koto
atarimae ni omotteta
sukoshi demo hanashitai
tokidoki wa daiji na koto
	Until now, this Earth has
	Been kindly embracing me,
	Turning, and moving
	To think that we're becoming free,
	Such a breath, how is it possible?
	I thought reasonably
	I want to talk a bit
	At times, it's an important thing.

(¤ repeat)

I want to know...
the meaning of peace & love
