No amount of gratitude is ever enough,
So I gaze back at you with my whole heart.
Shining as I bask in the sunlight—
Just like the moon in the night sky does.
To me, wandering as if hidden by cloudy skies,
You cast a beam of light.
You pried open the heart I had shut away all alone,
And embraced every part of me.
The heart that learns to rely on others, the heart that truly believes—
It was meeting you
That let me be honest with myself.
Discovering love makes us shine;
Everyone illuminates the world
Like the moon in the night sky.
I’m shining so brightly now—can you see it?
I won’t run away; I’m growing stronger
Because I want to see you smile.
Look, I’m shining so bright.
It’s amazing, isn’t it?
I was able to say goodbye
To the version of me who used to cry behind her smile.
Thank you.
So, when things get painful,
I want to protect you with my own light.
Wanting to be there for someone, wanting to live for someone—
It was meeting you
That let me be born anew.
Discovering love makes us shine;
It fills me with joy.
Even though I’m clumsy, even though my light is still small,
Please keep watching over me—
Forever and ever.
Oh, feelings held deep within, repeating endlessly—
Fly forth! Thank you.
What should I do? How should I handle this?
Realizing I can love someone this deeply…
Tears are overflowing.
Discovering love, I am shining;
Illuminating the world without hesitation,
Like the moon in the night sky.
I’m shining so brightly.
Look—in this very sky…
See?
I’m shining.
