Why Sing?

Lyrics & Composition: Ketsumeishi

From what I've felt, from what I've loved
the words echoed perfectly in my heart
And it becomes the strength for us singing
Snow white paper dyes in images
What we can't say completely, things we can't hear completely
What we can't compare or see on the surface
There are things like that, so we keep singing
We'll strike into anger and joy there

There are things we wanna tell, so we sing
We grasp our mic, thinking, "Let it reach you"
Sometimes asking ourselves, preaching the right path
And then we want you to feel something
If it becomes a small courage or support,
if you'll have a gentle smile tomorrow too
then I'll sing like myself more than anyone else again
I'll connect hearts using words with love

Why do we sing? As we feel
Because there's nothing but what we can't say enough
Why do we sing? As we feel
Because there's nothing but what we can't hear enough

Imagining then disappearing. Huge wishes and dreams
Struggling and then going on. Every day is like this
I've kept believing in singing and the power of words that convey up to today
Through my mic, I keep singing love and that attones for my sins
If this vast world will start changing even a bit, then for peace
Because today again we'll sing somehow just so you'll smile
If it's the chosen, then we'll gladly put our passion into our mics
We'll aim for you who truly get us
Enduring and bearing is our duty too
If you keep seeking us
then we'll keep singing forever

Why do we sing? As we feel
Because there's nothing but what we can't say enough
Why do we sing? As we feel
Because there's nothing but what we can't hear enough

Insults, songs about acting tough, offending
We're fed up with it. Could you stop? I wanna sing
like myself more about things with meaning
And I wanna grasp things with will there
Like pointing my finger at something wrong with the world
If I don't hold my mic and say something, that'd be a sin
Let the feelings they can't steal reach
those I wanna tell. Let them roar close to your ears

I grasp my pen again and search for words
Today again a long night breaks
And I put them on sound, putting in my soul
Hearts dyed many times
Even if the song doesn't resonate with you
even if it's meaningless for you now
let them be shining words someday
Let it be words that fill your dried heart

Why do we sing? As we feel
Because there's nothing but what we can't say enough
Why do we sing? As we feel
Because there's nothing but what we can't hear enough

Why do we sing...?
Naze Utau

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Ketsumeishi

Kanjita kotogara aishita mono kara
Kokoro ni MORO ni hibiita kotoba wa
Sore wa orera ga utau chikara to naru
Junpaku no kami wa IMEEJI ni somaru
Iikirenai koto kikikirenai mono
Uwabe men de kurabe mikirenai koto ga
Aru kara orera utai-tsuzukeru
Ikari yorokobi soko ni butsukeru

Tsutaetai koto ga aru kara utau
Anata ni todoke to MAIKU wo tsukamu
Toki ni mizukara toi hito no michi wo toki
Soshite nanika kanjite hoshii
Chiisa na yuuki sasae ni nareba
Ashita mo yasashii egao de areba
Mata dare yori mo ORErashiku utau
Ai aru kotoba de kokoro wo tsunagu

Orera naze utau? Kanjita mama
Iitarinai koto bakkari dakara
Orera naze utau? Kanjita mama
Kikitarinai mono bakkari dakara

Egaite wa kieru DEKAI negai to yume
Mogaite tsuzukeru mainichi ga KORE
Utau koto tsutaeru kotoba no chikara shinji-tsuzuke kyou made
MAIKU wo tooshi ai wo utai tsuzukeru koto de tsumi wo tsugunai
Kono hiroi sekai ga sukoshi demo kawari-hajimeru nara heiwa no tame ni
Nazenara kyou mo kimi ga warau tame dake ni nazeka orera utau tau
Ebareshi mono naraba yorokonde MAIKU ni komeru jounetsu wo
Shin de toraete kureru kimira ni mukeru
Koraete taete iku koto mo gimu
Kimi ga orera motome-tsuzukeru nara
Zutto orera utai-tsuzukeru

Orera naze utau? Kanjita mama
Iitarinai koto bakkari dakara
Orera naze utau? Kanjita mama
Kikitarinai mono bakkari dakara

Waruguchi waruburi kyoku kibun gaisu
Unzari yamete kunnai? Jibunrashiku
Utaitai motto imi no aru koto wo
Tsukamitai soko ni ishi no aru mono wo
Tatoeba "yo no okashii" ni taishi yubi wo sasu
MAIKU mochi iwanai nara sore tsumi to naru
Ubaenai kimochi tsutaetai hito ni
Todoke todoroke kimi no mimimoto e

Mata PEN nigiri kotoba sagashiteru
Kyou mo nagai yoru akashiteku
Soshite oto ni noseru tamashii komeru
Sono kokoro ikue nimo someru
Tatoe sono uta ga hibikanakutemo
Ima no anata niwa imi ga nakutemo
Itsuka hikaru kotoba de are
Kawaita kokoro mitasu kotoba to nare

Orera naze utau? Kanjita mama
Iitarinai koto bakkari dakara
Orera naze utau? Kanjita mama
Kikitarinai mono bakkari dakara

Orera naze utau...
