tori ni natte tobitai
haruka tooi
kibou wo mezashite

yuuki to yuu tsubasa wo tsukete

The song "Breeze" by Megumi Hayashibara tells a story of a self-discovery journey towards chasing dreams and finding inner strength. The lyrics are profound and introspective, asking the listener to reflect upon their lives and question whether they are living to their full potential. The song starts with the singer wanting to soar high like a bird, aiming for faraway hopes and desires. She then wonders if even a small and reckless person like herself can keep on living boldly without the fear of getting hurt. She then ponders if it's possible to have a peaceful and fearless tomorrow without being scarred by past struggles. Taking the wind as her guide, she finds the courage to fly towards her dreams and vows to keep a strong heart regardless of the challenges that might come her way.
