long

long ago

in the far-off

past

this world was born

in the ever-repeating history

we have inherited life

but from here

the only way

i can tell you this is by

singing this song

remember

just one more time

the form this world should have

and please

don't forget

please

please don't forget

surely no one was hoping for

any of those terrible things

hold the flowers to your heart

and pray that they may some day bloom

from here

the only way

i can tell you this is by

singing this song

i'll be happy if you'd lend me

your ear

even just for a little bit

remember

just one more time

how we were born

crying

into this world

your dreams and hopes for tomorrow

are all in this world

from here

the only way

i can tell you this is by

singing this song

i'll be happy if you'd lend me

your ear

even just for a little bit

remember

just one more time

the form this world should have

and please

don't forget

please

please don't forget
