Until We Reach home
Swallowed by the deepest ocean,
crawling over the harshest ground—
though I fall to dust for what I hold dear,
Someday I’ll see you in a place of peace.
※chorus
Even if I’m stained and broken,
I will not yield.
I will guard this love
Until we reach home.
Through the passage of time,
I will not waver.
This path leads to my purpose,
and it is for you alone.
When the moment comes,
When I soar high, higher into the sky,
I believe it’s drawing near,
For this unwavering faith,
I will dedicate everything,
And into the creeping darkness,
I will shine my light.
※Repeat
~ From Japan’s oldest anthology ~
At sea be my body
water-soaked,
On land be it
with grass overgrown.
