Yasashisa no Tane

Seed of Kindness

Iwao Junko


Sabishii toki ni wa nukumori wo sagashi
Haruka ni tadoru yo natsukashii kioku wo

Haha ga itoshigo wo kaina ni idaite
Hidamari no naka de komoriuta wo utau

Yumeji ni asobu osanako no hoho ni
Yousei ga tsukuru shiawase no ekubo

Yume kara sametemo emi wo nokoshiteku
Sonna yasashisa no tane ga kokoro ni aru

Haritsumeta kokoro hodo ite agetara
Yasashisa no tane wo hitotsu maite okou

Yagate me wo dashi tsubomi wa hokorobu
Utsukushii basho wo kokoro ni motsu nara

Itsuka wa daremo ga sunda aozora wo
Omoikiri takaku jiyuu ni habatakeru

Jiyuu ni habatakeru sono mune ni hana wo sakasete...

When I am lonely, I search for warmth
I follow my precious memories into the distance

A mother, holding her beloved child in her arms
Sings a lullaby in the sunlight

On the cheek of a child off playing in a dream
A fairy places a dimple of happiness

Even when awoken from a dream, a smile is left behind
Such a seed of kindness is in all our hearts

When a tied down heart is set free to fly
It'll sow a single seed of kindness

Before long a sprout will come, and a bud will open
If one has such a beautiful place in their heart

Someday, everyone will fly freely
as high as they can, in the clear blue sky

Fly freely, making flowers bloom in their hearts...
