Like this, Forever

Our life is like a waning like on a river that is slowly running dry.
You are the evanescent glow, and I'm the cool evaporating depths.
And for a time I wonder, as I take in your warmth: how did I exist before I met you?
Now near the end I begin to remember the beginning. How can I go on without you? Eternity will never be quite enough time for me. I want to live with you in this moment, like this, forever.
The sands of time are light, and they're floating away on a cruel wind.
You might have enjoyed the lie, if I'd said that nothing could ever make this end, but I refuse to hurt you by making you live in dreams. The truth is harsh, but I must live without you.
Now near the end I begin to remember the beginning. How can I go on without you? Eternity will never be quite enough time for me. I want to live with you in this moment, like this, forever.
One second more and you are falling - a tumbling star that's lost its power. A minute more and I am empty - left to bathe in darkness, without you.
Now near the end I begin to remember the beginning. How can I go on without you? Eternity will never be quite enough time for me. I want to live with you in this moment, like this, forever.

There are streets filled up with disease. There's blood on the hands of those who live in greed. There are children who are dying because they're hungry, but you and I just close our eyes.
What's a little heartbreak do to me? What's a little trouble do to you?
We're worried about ourselves but still it's nothing, all while the world crumbles down.
We've got to let go. We have to let ourselves go. Open your hearts. The world is bigger - bigger than you are.
We live inside our own perceptions - buying into our own deceptions - but no one is alone upon this Earth. Stop wasting time. Let's open our eyes. People around us, they're dying every day while we worry about which bill to pay. We've got to step away from the mirror.
We've got to let go. We have to let ourselves go. Open your hearts. The world is bigger - bigger than you are.
Take us from the road that we have traveled. Look upon the world for what it is: part of everything that lives. Let us join and see what we can give. We can give.
Got to let go. We have to let ourselves go. Open your hearts. The world is bigger - bigger than you are. The world is bigger. Bigger than you. Bigger. Bigger than you are.

When you're close to me I find I am trembling - struck by the wave of your perfect serenity. Just a moment of a relief from my solitary sleep. When I look in your eyes I see my life, and the hills where it rose, and the river, it flows.
I don't want to sleep. I don't want to breathe without you. I can't dream without you anymore. I want you to see that you are my whole life's direction - my one obsession.
Just a touch against your skin leaves me where I've always been: craving more than you will give. I'm still invisible to you. There isn't much that I can do, except look into your eyes, and see all the meaning you've given me. Serenity, in your eyes...
I don't want to sleep. I don't want to breathe without you. I can't dream without you. I want you to see that you are my whole life's direction - my one obsession. I want you know just how much you give to me, serenity - but you will never know.
All the wishes in the world won't make it true. This fantasy is killing me, but I can't let go of you, and this feeling of serenity you give me won't disappear.
I don't want to sleep. I don't want to breathe without you. I can't dream without you. I want you to see that you are my whole life's direction - my one obsession. I want you know just how much you give to me, serenity - but you will never know.
You are for me, serenity. You are. You are. Serenity.

Faith and fear - hand in hand. It's clear that all you want to do is believe, but belief is not truth. So confused.
How in hell can you say that you're saved? Are you saved?
Hell and heaven. Where's your reason? Do you use it? Now it's time to grow up from the infancy of our species. Stop destroying in the name of a god ...
... you can't prove. Can you say that you're saved?
Call me the skeptic, but I demand you prove it. With nothing but blind faith, just how in hell ...
... can you say that you're saved? Can you say that you're saved?

Do you remember the day, the day you first learned my name? I said 初めまして, and you said you were impressed, and I was honored.
時間はとても早く過ぎたけど、あなたがいないと、私は寂しい。私は忘れない。。。
さよなら, I will miss you. さよなら、I will miss you. Thank you for the times we've had. I'll never forget. Never forget.
And now it's time for farewell. I hope you find what you need. You'll always be in my memories. 私はあなたの友達。。。
さよなら, I will miss you. さよなら, I will miss you. Thank you for the times we've had. I'll never forget.
さよなら, I will miss you.
さよなら, さよなら, さよなら, I will miss you.

We Don't Know

We believe that we have it all figured out. We've conceived, that were smartest things - we even know god. Save your religion. Save your politics. I've had enough. Wouldn't you agree that we should ...
Say we don't know. Say we don't know. 'Cause saying we know gets us nowhere.
Since we were born, we have looked to the stars for an answer - driven by a need to explain what we don't comprehend. Shed your arrogance. You don't know who you are, or how it began. Why can't we live as friends?
Say we don't know. Say we don't know. 'Cause saying we know gets us nowhere.
Our solipsism is our plague, - it's breeding war and pain. We have to let go and embrace our uncertainties.
Say we don't know. Say we don't know. 'Cause saying we know gets us nowhere.

When you walked in the room no one knew what to say. All the heads went turning your way. I was feeling the microphone touching my lips and I wished it was you.
Today I know we're one. We're one, for you and I sing the same song together.
I feel the heat of the lights warming up my skin. I hear the roar of the crowd in the air. You may not get everything I say, but our hearts beat the same inside.
Today I know we're one. We're one, for you and I sing the same song together.
Now I want you to scream. That's so I know you hear me. You've made an impression on me.
Today I know we're one. We're one, for you and I sing the same song ...
Today, well I know we're one. We're one, for you and I sing the same song together. Today I know we're one. We're one, for you and I sing the same song ...
together.
