Lotus

かわいたよぞらこぼれるせいじゃく
kawaita yozora koboreru seijaku
こうげんのことわりつきのやさしさにさそわれ
kogen no kotowari tsuki no yasashisa ni sasoware
ねむりにおちたみなもにうかぶいま
nemuri ni ochita minamo ni ukabu ima
よあけをまつようにかぜがなでてゆく
yoake wo matsu you ni kaze ga nadete yuku

いまをいきてゆくなんてとおすぎて
ima wo ikite yuku nante toosugite
かなしみはまだいくえにもせつな
kanashimi wa mada ikue ni mo setsuna
さいてはねむるようにすいれんまるで
saite wa nemuru you ni suiren marude
はなびらをあわせていのってる
hanabira wo awasete inotteru

くもわたるとききえゆくあしあと
kumowataru toki kieyuku ashiato
あのときのひみつおもいおきわすれたまま
ano toki no himitsu omoi oki wasureta mama

めいろのようにいりこんだまんげきょう
meiro no you ni irikunda mangekyou
こどうがおしえるあいされたこと
kodou ga oshieru ai sareta koto

いまをいきてゆくなんてとおすぎて
ima wo ikite yuku nante toosugite
よびとめるこえついおくかけら
yobitomeru koe tsuioku kakera
さいてはねむるすいれんになぜと
saite wa nemuru suiren ni naze to
いまもきみがここにいるようで
ima mo kimi ga koko ni iru you de

いまをいきてゆくなんてとおすぎて
ima wo ikite yuku nante toosugite
かなしみはまだいくえにもせつな
kanashimi wa mada ikue ni mo setsuna
さいてはねむるようにすいれんまるで
saite wa nemuru you ni suiren marude
はなびらをあわせていのってる
hanabira wo awasete inotteru

Lotus

```The dry night sky spills silence
Invited by the kindness of the moon in the lake's reasoning
Floating on the sleeping surface, waiting for dawn
The wind gently strokes as if waiting for daybreak

Living in the present feels too distant
Sadness is still fleeting
Blooming like sleeping water lilies
Praying as the petals come together

Footprints disappearing in the cloudy time
Leaving behind the secret of that moment, still remembering

Like a maze, entering the kaleidoscope
The heartbeat teaches of a love that was

Living in the present feels too distant
A voice calling, fragments of memories
Blooming like sleeping water lilies, why
Even now, it feels like you're here

Living in the present feels too distant
Sadness is still fleeting
Blooming like sleeping water lilies
Praying as the petals come together```
