because i could hear everyone's voice

i was able to come to this place.
because i was wrapped up in everyone's love
my voice can now reach you.

there are people who must be tired,

but always smile for me;
who despite their full schedules
come running after me.

and thanks to you, who scolded me

when i was wrong.

because i could hear everyone's voice

i was able to come to this place.
because i was wrapped up in everyone's love
my voice can now reach you.

if i miss completely,
i appreciate the bravery
that the words "keep at it!" give me
and i am encouraged.

fate and coincidence pile up,

now to my wonderful encounter, thank you.

because i could hear everyone's voice

i was able to come to this place.
because i was wrapped up in everyone's love
my voice can now reach you.
