The wind is weeping, beyond the sky,
A shadow bends to pick up dreams gone by.
Each time a cry of war resounds,
A mother’s prayer fades underground.
Ah… lamenting Earth, this fleeting age,
The more we chase gold, the poorer the heart.
Ah… one wish remains, so pure, so true —
May tomorrow remember love anew.
Across the sea of digital light,
Truth itself drifts out of sight.
A child holds a phone, a father his dream,
The closer they reach, the farther they seem.
Ah… lamenting Earth, beneath the blue,
Tears can’t summon a rainbow’s hue.
Ah… before compassion fades away,
Let peace be sung in our hearts today.
(Soft shakuhachi and shamisen intertwine)
A white dove drifts upon the wind...
Satellites watch from the edge of time,
Yet cannot read a human mind.
One hates, one weeps, and both are small —
Their tears together fill the sea of all.
Ah… lamenting Earth, oh life divine,
Words alone can’t heal this line.
Ah… if only tonight, through this song I could,
Light the flame of human good.
