"Je veux être avec toi
Et Je ne aime pas sans toi"
Thousands of tears placing my mind into fire.
Loneliness I've gotten to inspire.
I wanted to love you when I didn't find myself in front of me
I wanted to hug you when I didn't wrap my hope so close to me.
I can't expect to see when I haven't opened my eyes.
Nam myoho is growing around where I fight to see my soul rise.
It is a winding road of devotion to nurture
It is a narrow way of chanting to my future.
I wanted to run when I was not able to walk
I wanted to sing when I was not able to talk
I wanted to fly when I was not able to stand my ground
I wanted to speak when I was not able to hear my soul-sound.
I will be right back when I see myself in my eyes getting high
I will give my hands when I can find more than I could cry.
