『Like A Sunflower』

『Like A Sunflower』

Looking up into the crystal blue sky
A sunflower dreams to be the shining sun

I also look up into the sky
Lying on the field of sunflowers
And I wish
Wish to be such a sunflower
In dreams of the world with rays of happiness

The sun shines in the universe
Not just in sunny days and in the morning
But in cloudy days and in the night too

The sun is always there shining
Emitting the same light to me
But I’m standing on the earth
Sometimes despairingly under the raven sky
Covered by the darkness or gigantic clouds

Clouds are my frailty
Darkness is my timidity
They just keep me from feeling the sun’s compassion
That is pored to me constantly

So I swear now
My endeavor just began
To seek the sun in all weather like a sunflower
Absorbing its lights throughout the body
Thriving high up into the sky

The earth is in the deep shadows
The shadows of unhappiness
But the sun is there to embrace the world
With the rays of peace and happiness

So I should bloom as a single flower
A flower in the wild
That gives small happiness and smiles
To its surroundings

Now is the time I appreciate the sun
Feeling its love here on the earth
More than anywhere in the world

I should grow up high
Higher than any other flowers
And I promise to be the lights of hope
In the future that the sun ensures and opens
That is the best way to show my gratitude

I look up into the sky again
Sending my thanks to the shining sun
I smile here cheerfully like a sunflower
Giving small happiness to the person next to me
As the sun smiles to me all the time
