You walk along the river in the dark forest
The river glows faintly under the moonlight
Dear, you wander in the dark
Please, follow the little light
Dear, you can't leave far
Please, love again

Your wet wings shine through the dark forest
Your wet wings shine through the dark forest
Please, fly again

Your laughter and tears become stars
Even the moment it disappears under the dawn sky
Dear, you can't sleep
Please, dream a little dream
Dear, you can't leave far
Please, love again

Your wet wings shine through the dark forest
Your wet wings shine through the dark forest
Please, fly again

Your wet wings shine through the dark forest
Your wet wings shine through the dark forest
Please, be free from the tears inside

If you can rest
in my dream
If you can find a peace
in my dream
When you fall asleep caring for no one
It rains down with my tears of joy
I would blossom rainbow flower

My dear
please, be free
in my rainbow dream

Oh my dear
please, fly high
over the rainbow
