My Treasure

Romaji

Deep inside of me there lives a scared little child
I push away the past and try to bury her
Underneath the shelter of the sky far above
We’re all the same
Small inside
Grasping for connection, reaching air, not a soul
Those moments spent alone pile up like single bricks
Bit by bit, making you that much more scared inside
We all have our own dark starless nights here
How do I become the girl who laughs during the darkest nights alone?
Can I become that warrior?
Somewhere out in the world, it’s waiting for you
It’s the one true thing you’ve lost
But to find it again you will face all your fears, they’re still intense
There’s battles up ahead, they’re waiting for you
You will be knocked down, but keep on charging through
Even if my love turns into endless pain
And dries up all the tears I haven’t shed
I will be that warrior
How do I find someone to share in the life I’ve always dreamt alone?
Can I forgive myself at last?
There’s danger up ahead, it’s waiting for you
And you’re truly terrified
But you’ll find inside, that strong voice that says go, it’s always there
You’ll be battered and bruised, again and again
You’ll be knocked down, but keep on charging through
Even if the fight goes on for endless years
And wrecks my body into shattered bones
I will be that warrior
The little promises you broke
That were scattered wide and far
Even as they’re trampled, crushed into bits
Pick them up and gently
Whispering your truth
You can make them whole again
Until they glow like nighttime stars, lighting your way
I wish upon the stars, just for some strength
So that I can carry on
Somewhere out in the world, it’s waiting for you
It’s the one true thing you’ve lost
But to find it again you will face all your fears, keep following those stars
There’s battles up ahead, they’re waiting for you
You will be knocked down, but keep on charging through
Even as my love turns into endless pain
And the battle wounds turn into deep scars
I know that I won’t have regrets
Rushing into the eye of the storm
I’ve become that warrior
