This foreign wind whispers many secrets
There are many tongues spoken - but rarely mine
Fields of young, and young-at-heart
The sky goes dark but the fields stay light
Chinese lanterns glowing bright
Chinese lanterns in the sky
Don't turn your back on the things that make you different, special
Lies in your head give you shame now making you doubtful, troubled
Don't turn your back on the things you fight for: your heart, your soul
Walk down the road where your heart will take you, peaceful soldier
This city's lights forever burning
The people's minds are blazing through the night
Streets of young and young at heart
The sun goes down but the land stays light
Japanese cranes under moonlight
Japanese cranes flying like kites
Don't turn your back on the things that make you different, special
Lies in your head give you shame now making you doubtful, troubled
Don't turn your back on the things you fight for: your heart, your soul
Walk down the road where your heart will take you, peaceful soldier
Don't turn your back on the things that make you different, special
Lies in your head give you shame now making you doubtful, troubled
Turn, turn away from the words that hurt you, bitter, painful
Walk - hold your head high, smile - don't you dare cry
Someday you'll be coming back home
(Ahh, I can breathe!)
