it's me, Manabu
Listen baby , what I want to say to ya
we are all together but we are feeling lonely everyday, you see
***
we wake up every morning
walk by the window to see if the sun lights up the dark
I get on a crowded train
pushed by the strangers heading my place to work
you read in the library
trying hard that the words all come right up to you
and I get off the at station
stop for a moment just to think about you
maybe you stop the book then
looked around your back as if you are called by someone
cuz im hoping that we share a common feeling
like we are holding our hands together
like we are touching our lips each other
like we are wrapping our arms around our shoulders
***
I know you are going through some hard times
like trapped in the mud afraid to lose yourself
counting the numbers one to ten
but the answer is always more than that
it's like my teacher says
gotta be strong
gotta be wise
gotta be bold
gotta be tough
and more importantly usually
you gotta be calm
you gotta be fun
gotta go ahead and release your fear
it is something fearful when you look from outside
but it will be wothwhile when you stepped inside it
and im the one who's always here to hold your hand
and remember that im the one to push your back when you feel like it's a little too overwhelming
cuz life's little more comfortable if it takes two
it's gonna be
okay
