The sound of water drops in the dark forest
If it’s clear you can hear it
The gentle wind that blows against us
heals our wounds

At that time there were
only things I didn’t know but
now I understand
I want to tell you this

Gently, gently
Illuminate tomorrow
The things I want to hold on to
I will never forget them
The things left for me
are so warm
They go straight to my heart

Inside my memories
It keeps repeating
Like a broken TV
I came to know there are things
you can’t heal if wounded

If I was able to take it back
what would I do?
I want to fill this deep divide
Where are you?

I waited forever
I had faith forever
If I returned back to that day
I wouldn’t be able to wait forever
It dilutes the afterimage
Just all of these unnoticeable things
criticize me

If you hum a tender song, see
You’ll come to see it
You’ll come to see it

Gently, gently
Illuminate tomorrow
The things I want to hold on to
I will never forget them
The things left for me
are so warm
They go straight to my heart
