Kemuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes want to cry...
Sometimes...
My heart's so blind!
In this time,
in this only life,
I am ready to try!
No! I won't be crying!
like a merry-go-round!
Up and down with the sound!
Well, it's a new day!
Let's not think too much!
Drink and eat well to smile!
Oh! Yeah! The spirit lives and
keeps on growing!
That is our PMA!
Oh! Yeah! The spirit lives and
keeps on growing!
Nothing is easy!
Our PMA in our hearts!
I can't lie to
the morning light!
Can not lie!
So I slowly believe...
Things that I see!
Things that I fell!
I am ready to live!
Live with the dreams!
We'll never know
what will be in the black box...
Until we open the lid...
You know your smile tells!
We only have one life!
Drink and eat well to smile!
Oh! Yeah! The spirit goes
and keeps on growing!
That is our PMA!
Oh! Yeah! The spirit goes
and keeps on growing!
Nothing is easy!
Our PMA in our hearts!
I am not alone!
You are not alone!
I see you! You smile!
We're not alone!
So why don't we walk,
don't have to talk
just hold my hand!
Oh! Yeah! The spirit goes
and keeps on growing!
That is our PMA!
Oh! Yeah! The spirit goes
and keeps on growing!
Nothing is easy!
Our PMA in our hearts!
Nothing is easy!
Our PMA goes on in our hearts!
