Broken Angel Wings

A song dedicated to Kuriko, who has been accompanying me for a long time.

Two decades’ time with one year more

That’s how long an angel has been around for

Arriving at dawn with the sky getting bright

Look at this land like never before

Spread the wings of feather and snow

Oh, how would this miracle ever not glow?

Fly about the sky, filled with delight

Play the birds’ song and let melodies flow

Nothing goes on forever,

but the angel dances and lights up today

Share the moments of merriment

in the time for them to stay

To never, never, never, never, never being afraid

For there always, always, always, always will be the angel wings

In sun and rain, through wind and mist

Landscapes the angel had witnessed or missed

With celestial memories from up so high

But the feathers of glow could no longer persist

On walks of day, in dreams of night

The angel cried over the broken wings

Sunk in sorrow, longing to fly

The angel sang as much as one could sing

…

Stalk a bird, fly a kite

Roam in the sunshine along a strand

Join the campfire and be the guide

The angel’s dance goes on hand in hand

Maybe never, never, never, never back are the broken wings

But there’s so much, so much, so much, so much to see on this wonderland

Maybe never, never, never, never back are the broken wings

But there’s so much, so much, so much, so much to see on this wonderland
