Dreams never seen before,
Nights held within the eyes,
In the beauty of the dawn,
In the shadow of the light,
The soul sings here,
Searching for bonds of love.
The soul sings here,
Searching for bonds of love.
A time when the heart carried no burdens,
A time when the eyes held no heavy weight,
A time when the heart carried no burdens,
A time when the eyes held no heavy weight.
With the swift rush of playful feet,
Every twist of fate shatters to dust.
The sweet scent of morning blossoms
Sprinkles happiness all along the path.
There is joy across the whole town,
Joy everywhere through loving bonds.
With wings upon the heart,
Soaring in pure delight,
As tiny little hearts
Float gently like the clouds.
Dreams never seen before,
Nights held within the eyes,
In the beauty of the dawn,
In the shadow of the light,
The soul sings here,
Searching for bonds of love.
The soul sings here,
Searching for bonds of love.
