Feel - Hitsujibungaku

Luke 1:69-71 ESV  and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, (70) as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, (71) that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;

I kept looking away from the fact I’d been empty all along
Clutching the hollow shell of myself
Desperate only to protect myself
I couldn’t even hear your voice calling me

Pretending nothing’s wrong, smiling
Thinking I was hiding it so well
Even if I locked the pain away
What is it that still won’t disappear?

You taught me
To spread my wings as I wish
That the days could shine so much brighter

I don’t understand everything yet
But I’ll try reaching out just a little
And feel, feel a lot
If only I could live just as I feel
If only I could live that way

There’s no reason needed
For the joy that rushes past before my eyes
I want to hold it tight so it won’t slip away

Everyone has wings they’ve long forgotten
But in our fear we just overlook them

Stepping in on shaky toes
Tripping with clumsy steps
Even if it’s a tentative, searching turn
This time, I want it to reach you

Even if I lose sight of where the star I believed in is headed
I’ll be sure to come and find you

My words are still trembling
But I won’t hesitate anymore
And feel, feel a lot, just as I feel

You taught me
To spread my wings as I wish
That the days could shine so much brighter

The sky that goes on anywhere
Toward tomorrow that begins here
Feel, feel a lot, I’ll keep painting gentle dreams
Keep painting them

Zutto karappo datta koto kara me o sorashite
Nigirishimete ita watashi no nukegara
Jibun o mamoru koto bakari yake ni natte
Kimi ga yobu koe ni kizukenai de ita

Nandemo nai furi de waratte
Jouzu ni kakushiteru tsumori de
Itami sae tojikomete shimatte mo
Mada, kienai no wa nani?

Omou you ni habataite
Hibi wa motto kagayaite ii to
Anata ga watashi ni oshiete kureta no

Subete wa mada wakaranai
Keredo chotto te o nobashi
And feel, feel a lot
Kanjiru mama ni ikite yuketara
Ikite yuketara

Riyuu nado nai no
Me no mae, kakenukete yuku yorokobi o
Hanasanai you ni chanto dakishimetetai yo

Zutto wasurete iru hane wa dare ni mo aru noni
Okubyou na mama de miotoshite shimau nda

Furatsuku tsumasaki fumikonde
Tsutawai suteppu de tsumazuite
Saguri saguri no taan demo ii kara
Kondo koso anata made todoke

Shinjita hoshi no yukue o miushinai sou ni natte mo
Watashi ga kanarazu mukae ni yuku kara

Kotoba wa mada furueteru
Dakedo mou mayowanai
And feel, feel a lot kanjiru mama ni

Omou you ni habataite
Hibi wa motto kagayaite ii to
Anata ga watashi ni oshiete kureta no

Doko e datte tsudzuku sora
Koko kara hajimaru ashita e
Feel, feel a lot yasashii yume o egaite yuku no
Egaite yuku no
