Faster, higher, farther – I only looked forward and crazily, mindlessly ran
It was a passionate first half of my life
A guy like me coming this far is an amazing turn of events
I really wanted to work hard for my life – I thought if I had money and fame
If I had pretty and hot girls, if I chose what I wanted to do with work
I thought if I had those things, I would succeed
Then I thought I would be happy if I helped the needy
I shouted to the world, asking it to look at me
Asking it to recognize me for working this hard
I sang, danced, did business, wrote songs
And that wasn’t enough so I crossed the seas and sold my songs in America
Then I thought I would accomplish something, I thought my life problems would be solved
But seeing myself trembling, fearing, like a fool, that I would die over the small airplane turbulence
I felt so pathetic

(I hope I can become smaller, more humble
I hope I can break down and become empty)
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I will come to know and follow

The whistle blows, alerting that the first half is over
Now it’s halftime – hoping that the final goal that will win this game
Will come early so I can have a peaceful heart and have fun as I run
So I look for the answer and I began to see it a little
But the problem is that I could only accept it with my head and not with my heart
I believe it but I just can’t believe in it
I believe it but I just can’t believe in it
If you want to use the Galaxy properly, you ask Samsung
If you want to use the iPhone properly, you ask Apple
Likewise, if I want to live life properly, I need to find the one who created humans
If I want to live in this world properly, I need to find the one who created the world
That’s how it should be but for all this time, I jabbered about, not even knowing anything – I’m ashamed
When I meet the one and believe and believe in the one, that’s when I’ll really start living
When I believe and believe in the one, that day will be my birthday

(I hope I can become smaller, more humble
I hope I can break down and become empty)
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I will come to know and follow

I’m not even a dot on the long, long history
I’m not even a speck of dust in this wide universe
So if I don’t even find the one who made all of this and ask
And decide between good and evil, right and wrong with my small brain
And shout out loud, that is such an arrogant thing
Believing in myself and living that way is such a miserable thing
It’s such a relief that I realize this now
Even if I don’t believe in it, it’s such a relief that I know

(I hope I can become smaller, more humble
I hope I can break down and become empty)
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I won’t just live my life
I hope I will come to know and follow
