Stay with me…<\/p>\n

English translation<\/h2>\n
\n\n

\tAt the distant ends of the earth     the blazing evening sun sets
\n\tMaking me think of a world I haven’t seen yet, turning inspiration into a prayer [1]
\n\tUntil the day I hear laughter from those people all over the world who had been crying [2]<\/p>\n

\tThe light of a wish glowing in children’s eyes     Gives me courage
\n\tWhat I can do, when I am so small in this big world, I don’t know yet
\n\tUnder the clear blue sky     I just want to believe one thing     Can love save the world?<\/p>\n

\tChildren with sad eyes     become the sacrifice of repeating wars
\n\tDon’t defile love anymore, anymore than this [3]
\n\tSoftly, let the outstretched hand     open the door of the closed heart
\n\tI want to believe that surely I can do something<\/p>\n

Stay with me…<\/p>\n

\tUnder the clear blue sky     I just want to believe one thing     Can love save the world?
\n\tI can’t see you anymore     so I can only brush away the tears
\n\tUnder the clear blue sky     I just want to believe one thing     Can love save the world?<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
