Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

小さな手繋いでる
この朝の静けさ
泣き声は黄金色
暗闇にも光れ
Oh,Children
新しく微笑みかけてみて
始まったばかりのコスモスの中で
I Love You

目覚める命
限りなく響かせて
目覚める命
研ぎ澄ませつき進め強く
その瞳風のように
今愛に満たされ
この鼓動伝わって
今銀河を渡れ
Oh,Children 新しい罪を握りしめて
始まったばかりの激しさの中で
I Love You
目覚める命
限りなく響かせて
目覚める命
研ぎすませつき進め
I Love You
祈り続ける眠らずにずっと
この繰り返している力の為に
君を愛しているよ
目覚める命
限りなく響かせて
目覚める命
研ぎ澄ませつき進め
I Love You...
目覚める命
限りなく響かせて
目覚める命

研ぎ澄ませつき進め
I Love You...

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "心" by ORIGINAL LOVE. The first verse talks about the morning quietness and the sound of a child's cry being like golden light shining even in the darkness. The chorus then urges the listener to embrace their new smile and awaken their life force, echoing it endlessly. The second verse expands on this idea, asking them to hold on to their newfound power and charge forward strongly, even amidst the turbulence of new beginnings. The final lines speak of the power of love, with a vow to continue praying for it and to keep this cycle of growth and love going.

Overall, the message of the song seems to be one of embracing new beginnings and finding strength in them. It is also about the power of love and how it can drive growth and change in a person, as well as the importance of continuing to hold onto that power and use it to propel oneself forward.
