about

To all of you who are stuck in a war you never asked for,
To all of you who are alone in a place that seems safe,
To all of the orphans who carry a lingering loneliness inside,
I hope this song reaches the child inside of you.

lyrics

(Japanese)
毎晩 ねむってしまうのはふしぎ
陸でもない 海でもない
しずかなところ

龍が めざめたあの日から
なにかを さがしてる
うちゅうのみなしご

まえをみていて
せなかあわせにきみがいるから
だいじょうぶ

いま 七色の尾をひいて
まわる きみの声 ぼくの歌
銀河のなかに

瑠璃のコロニヰ
せなかあわせにきみがいるから
だいじょうぶ

(English)
Isn’t it strange?
How we go to sleep each night
in some quiet place, that’s neither land nor sea

Since that day the dragon awoke
the space orphans have been searching for something

Look ahead
With you beside me, I’ll be just fine

Now, your voice, my song,
our seven colored plume,
spinning in the cosmos

A colony of lapis
With you beside me, I’ll always be just fine
