Spring Rises on the Plain

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The grass beside the old road sends out slender shoots again

Last year's scorched earth hides a home still waiting to wake

A shower gently brightens the colors beyond the deserted city

Your travel bundle is tied up anew in the morning breeze

[Pre-Chorus]

The withered yellow of the past has not erased the roots' stubborn will

Beside the road where we parted, growth still stretches on

[Chorus]

Set out again when the spring wind comes

Slowly nurture the wounds we have suffered into branches reaching upward

Today I see you off across this newly green plain

May I recognize the flowers at my feet each time I return

Even if some dreams once fell in the cold night

As long as roots remain in the heart, we can give tomorrow an answer

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

You say there may be unknown winds and frosts far away

I pluck a blade of green grass and place it between your book's pages

Do not forget how ordinary lives make their way through the seasons

Without grand declarations, still living earnestly all along

[Pre-Chorus]

The withered yellow of the past has not erased the roots' stubborn will

Beside the road where we parted, growth still stretches on

[Chorus]

Set out again when the spring wind comes

Slowly nurture the wounds we have suffered into branches reaching upward

Today I see you off across this newly green plain

May I recognize the flowers at my feet each time I return

Even if some dreams once fell in the cold night

As long as roots remain in the heart, we can give tomorrow an answer

[Bridge]

If one day you feel very small

Remember the countless blades of grass that hold up an entire hillside

However long the road, fresh rain will come

May we each move forward and live our own lives well

[Final Chorus]

Set out again when the spring wind comes

Slowly nurture the wounds we have suffered into branches reaching upward

Today I see you off across this newly green plain

May I recognize the flowers at my feet each time I return

Even if some dreams once fell in the cold night

As long as roots remain in the heart, we can give tomorrow an answer

[Outro]

Your retreating figure slowly walks into the bright day

The meadow and I await the next spring of reunion
