When you shook with tears,
I didn't know what to do.
I looked up at the sky
and my heart
ached.

When you are uninjured,
you can be touched by anyone.
It's the same surprise as when
you touch
the chill of water.

Even though I'm next to you,
I can't do anything, but
with my utmost smile
on my face, just for you,
I'll give you     an embrace, anytime.

It's okay to believe; your dreams are coming,
just for you.
It's okay to cry; any kind of sadness
can change into wings
in your heart.

(Instrumental Bridge)

Protecting someone
is simply impossible, isn't it?
I can't even stop the rain
from falling
on you.

But I won't give up
Even with only a little courage
Someday, if I
become used to
my real strength...

Even a small butterfly
can cross an ocean
"Someday, for sure," is all
I can say, but that is so frustrating to me.

It's okay to believe; a rainbow is coming
to the tips of your toes.
It's okay to believe; your time will come
very soon, in the middle of
a new breeze.

(Instrumental Break)

So yes, a dream is definitely coming.
Spread open that heart.
Without a doubt, your tears knew that.
I think they came from tomorrow
to tell you.

It's okay to believe; your dreams are coming,
just for you.
It's okay to cry; any kind of sadness
can change into wings
in your heart.
