Children are what we make of them

Forgive me dear girl, I couldn’t help you

Forgive me dear girl

I couldn’t help you

Time has passed

Life has changed

It’s too late to save you

You stayed

And I followed

We got separated

And I got lost

Maybe one day

Of full joy

I will find you in the same place

And full of amazement

Maybe I’ll realize

That you are the one who will save me

Now I see

I locked you in my heart

So you wouldn’t cry

We can already follow together

Until when our time lasts.
