Where should I begin the story? The journey here wasn't a short one It wasn't all fun times There were plenty of sad times too
But when I look back All of it is sparkling
The tears welling in my eyes aren't at fault It's because the time that has passed is so brilliant The path I walked wasn't wrong Now that the sky is quietly growing dark, I can say that
It's fine to stay silent Because we understand the loneliness of holding it in We've been the ones closest to you Always watching you do your best
At least at the end, without feigning strength It's okay to cry in front of us
Go ahead and shed the tears you've stored up in your heart Leave that burden behind, for the sake of your future… Your footprints are still brilliant They will act as encouragement for those who will follow
The times when you may lose your way The times when love may forsake you In a loud voice, call our names No matter where we are, we'll run to you
The tears welling in my eyes aren't at fault It's because the time that has passed is so brilliant The path I walked wasn't wrong Now that the sky is quietly growing dark, I can say that
The tears welling in my eyes aren't at fault Because they've become memories, they're blurring into rainbows Letting go of all the things that will soon disappear Finally able to be honest, I can say "thank you"
