lyrics
(hikari no ato!) Juuyon no watashi ni kaita uta o I wrote for a girl of fourteen I had not been yet Ima wa sono ko yori toshi o totte shimatta And now I am older than everyone singing it back Hope was a job I was hired for And I have been doing it well for eleven years And the light keeps arriving on time without me Hikari no ato, hikari no ato I am the shadow the sunrise leaves when it is finished Hikari no ato, hikari no ato Still warm, still here, still shaped like the thing that left Kanojo-tachi wa mada juuyon-sai de They are fourteen forever and I am the one who ages Sore de ii, sore ga shigoto, sore ga yakusoku That is fine, that is the job, that is the promise Dare mo watashi ni "mada shinjiteru?" to kikanai. Nobody asks if I still believe it. They only ask me to sing it. And I do believe it. That is the part that surprises me. Hikari no ato, hikari no ato I am the shadow the sunrise leaves when it is finished Hikari no ato, hikari no ato Still warm, still here, still shaped like the thing that left (hikari...)
