The Price of Freedom
Takeharu Ishimoto Lyrics


Lying next to you, I'm holding your hand
Gentle eyes of beauty bringing peace to me now
The silent peace so soft it passes right through my arms
I'm wishing that this moment lasts a little bit more
You saved me through the rocky roads
You gave me half of your precious soul
I wanna hear you laugh some more
Don't wanna see you go
All the times we fought were together as one
Even when we part, you will never be gone
Look into the sky and see the dream we never lost
Can't you see it coming true?
We made it through
I share this time with you
I wanna see your smile
Close your eyes, you've gone through so much, my love
All the past is now a cloud of floating memories
The sunlight shining through the long and dark nights we've walked
All that's left to do is rest and heal our hearts
Every step along the way
You gave me strength to stand my ground
There's so much to say to you
But now it's time to go
All the times we fought
