Stage of the ground

*************************************************

One summer day,
I learned I didn't have wings when I tried to fly.
The day I realized,
I'd sacrificed an old dream,
to be standing here on the ground now.

never again to reach
that moon or those stars
because they're in a place outside my reach
and I know very well where I stand.

unable to fly, you'll walk.
and if we run into despair
we'll hold hands.
if you're trying to laugh through the miserable nights
I'll sing for you. Loo Lala

It's right that you should go on,
even as you lose your way,
even as you make mistakes.
the ground you stand upon,
don't you see, your path lay in all 360 degrees.

Stage of the Ground

When you come to a standstill,
at the end of loneliness
and remove the cover from your canteen *1
your face will clearly show the sum of
your encounters and partings.

Eveytime you count the tears shed
by someone passing by,
you wish you "were kinder"
but I think you're the kindest of all...
Loo lala

all the fragments of prayer
entrusted to your feet
scream out with a strained voice
that you've made it this far, be proud of it

Stage of the Ground

If you walk as you pick up the pebbles
which cause you to stumble
Your eyes will light up once more.

This tiny you, is the center of a s___e
that goes on to infinity. *2

The dream that scattered, when it protected you
it's looking down on you
from the stands in the night sky.
even if you're weak, in your pursuit for strength
It'll sing for you Loo lala

that moon, and those stars
they're all lighting your stage
scream out with a strained voice
that you're standing there.

The light shines on you,
on days you lose your way ,
and days you make mistakes
the ground you stand on,
don't you see, anyday of the 365 days a year

Stage of the Ground
