本当の心はいつだって見えなくて...
誰もが上辺だけ笑ってなんとなくやり過ごしてる

喜びに重ね合う言葉さえ見せかけの
優しさで小さなトゲを隠して

なぜ人々は傷つけ合うの
　平和を願いながら
この星の下君とゆう人は
　君だけなのに

閉ざされた心に悲しみを流すだけ

喜びに重ね合う言葉さえ見せかけの
優しさで小さなトゲを隠して

なぜ人々は傷つけ合うの
平和を願いながら
この星の下君とゆう人は
君だけなのに

本当の心は永遠に檻の中

hontou no kokoro wa itsudatte mienakute...
daremo ga uwabe dake waratte nantonaku yarisugoshiteru
	We can never see the true hearts of people...
	Laughing only on the surface, somehow we keep skimming past each other

yorokobi ni kasaneau kotoba sae misekake no
yasashisa de chiisana TOGE wo kakushite
	Even the words that we pile on top of our happiness
	Are a feigned tenderness with which we hide small thorns

naze hitobito wa kizutsukeau no
heiwa wo negai nagara
kono hoshi no shita kimi to yuu hito wa
kimi dake nanoni
	Why do we hurt each other
	While wishing for peace?
	Why, though there is only one you
	That exists under these stars?

tozasareta kokoro ni kanashimi wo nagasu dake
	Only sadness washes through my closed heart

yorokobi ni kasaneau kotoba sae misekake no
yasashisa de chiisana TOGE wo kakushite
	Even the words that we pile on top of our happiness
	Are a feigned tenderness with which we hide small thorns

naze hitobito wa kizutsukeau no
heiwa wo negai nagara
kono hoshi no shita kimi to yuu hito wa
kimi dake nanoni
	Why do we hurt each other
	While wishing for peace?
	Why, though there is only one you
	That exists under these stars?

hontou no kokoro wa eien ni ori no naka
	My true heart is trapped in a cage for eternity
