Searching for the breeze,
I have never wandered.
Like the breeze that came looking for me,
that is the kind of life I want!
I'm going to bounce my life like a ball,
I'm going to slice my life like a cake,
I'm going to screen my life like a movie,
and I'm going to make it a blockbuster hit!
Like a child tying a balloon to a string,
I am building a life of my own.
Like a little puppy bumping into a balloon,
I'm going to dive headfirst into my life!
Travelling in a straight line,
just like a beam of light,
a life of my own,
I will sketch, I will design.
Flowing along with the wind,
just like a sweet fragrance,
I will let my life drift on.
Where should I go next?
What should I conquer next?
As my eyes dart here and there in search,
what a life this is, what a life!
If you just keep waiting,
time is not going to stop.
In a heart that races after success,
there is no need for love!
I'm going to bounce my life like a ball,
I'm going to slice my life like a cake,
I'm going to screen my life like a movie,
and I'm going to make it a blockbuster hit!
