English (Edited Version- Used in English Dub)

Running in a crowd
In a faceless town
I need to feel the touch of a friend
In the countryside
I wander far and wide
The isolation gets me again

I don't know where to go
When I feel like crying
Oh my!
It's time to open myself
Do something new
I want to stop, and grow up a bit

Then suddenly, my power and confidence start swelling up
Magically erupt
And it's all because of the kindness that I feel
From people I don't even know

Then suddenly, my intuition and my wisdom grow
And then I know
That most of all I sense compassion's real
Thanks to strangers where ever I go
Thank you for waking me up!

English (Full Version)

Running in a crowd,
In a faceless town,
I need to feel the touch of a friend.
In the countryside,
I wander far and wide.
The isolation gets me again.

I don't know where to go
When I feel like crying,
"Oh my!"
It's time to open myself,
Do something new,
I want to stop and grow up a bit.

Then suddenly, my power and confidence start swelling up,
Magically erupt.
And it's all because of the kindness that I feel
From people I don't even know.

Then suddenly, my intuition and my wisdom grow,
And then I know
That most of all I sense compassion's real
Thanks to strangers where ever I go.
Thank you for waking me up!

Until now, how many times I've tried
to tell you "please take care of yourself".
Then with tear-stained eyes, I sadly said "Good-bye"
as I waved and wished you "Farewell".

Then I think of how
how much longer I must wait.
I look inside myself,
And feel something new,
I want to stop and grow up a bit

It's all because, I'm feeling sad
and then I cry, I don't know why
The courage that I need, the power to succeed
Gives me the strength to fly

It's all because of when I see my friends, oh my
Every time,
They're always behind me pushing me on,
lighting the fire in me (Fire in me!)

Then suddenly, my power and confidence start swelling up,
Magically erupt.
And it's all because of the kindness that I feel
From people I don't even know.

I won't forget, the times we shared on those pleasant days,
Always.
And I'll never lose the strength to succeed,
The courage to do what I must.
Your smile makes my heart explode!
