一つの愛
空が赤く照らされた時
母は悲しげな顔を隠した
幼い弟を見つめながら
私たちはやむを得ず家を出た
たぶんこれは天罰だろう
果敢ない幸せを追い続けてた僕たちは
大事なことを忘れ踊っていた
昔から約束された天敵はいずれやって来て
あれから何十年も
じいさんたちが私たちに残した遺産は
むしろこの戦いしかない
友達、学校
そういうもの感じたかった
きっと楽しくて、きっと笑える
父の愛さえ分からない私は
命の意味を問うていた
世の中を問うてた
だけど母はいつも笑いながら
大丈夫だよって言ってくれた
わからないよ、あの時の私が
なんで僕たちばかりがこんな目に
なぜ父が死ななきゃいけないの？と
毎日、涙が私を寝かせていた
いま僕はわかる
やらなきゃいけないことがあること
一人ぼっちになっても
僕を見て愛してくれてる神様がいる
その神様は今
亡くなった父も、母も、弟も
どこかで見守ってくれてるだろうと
そして僕の出番がやっと来た
一つの愛を信じ
この戦場に踏み出す
***English version***
Believe In One Love
There was a time when the sky turned red
And mother hid that sad face from me
I wonder what future awaits my little brother
As we stepped out of that house
Could this be punishment from above?
When we chased after the fleeting happiness on earth
We danced only to forget the most important thing
The enemies promised in our early days finally came
And since then years passed
What our ancestors passed down to us
Is nothing more than this fight
Friends to play with, going to school
I always wanted to know what it feels like
It must be fun and full of laughter
Not even knowing what a father's love is like
I started to wonder what life is
I began to doubt everything
But then mother would always smile
And tell me it will be alright
I didn't understand, I was too young
Why are we the ones to carry this burden?
Why did father have to die?
Everyday, tears put me to sleep
Now I comprehend
That there's something I must do
Even if I'm left alone
There is God who looks at me and loves me
That very God right now
Is probably looking after them too
My father, my mother, and my brother who died
And then my turn finally came
Believing in one love
I stepped into the battlefield

A look into a person's heart.
