Feeling (feeling)

Emotion (emotion)

Don't be afraid to be weak

Don't be too proud to be strong

Just look into your heart, my friend

That will be the return to yourself

The return to innocence

...

The return to innocence

And if you want, then start to laugh

If you must, then start to cry

Be yourself, don't hide

Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say

Just follow your own way

Don't give up and use the chance

To return to innocence

...

That's not the beginning of the end

That's the return to yourself

The return to innocence

...

It's the return to innocence

...
