If you get a ring of silver when you turn nineteen

It means someone somewhere will bond with you, however far

Well, that's what I read online

They laugh and jeer and call the ring a rumor, nothing more

But on that day, they can't help but wish that ring

Was real somehow, a gift given by a dear friend

Ah, my artificial smile

Put on to keep my guard up

But, finding myself alone

That was the moment that I realized...

Hearing "be yourself," I only ran away

I never saw the value in the friends I have now

From the moment you are born, you're never alone

That is true of all who live in this world

Living in the same time with the same feelings

We'll come to understand each other, no matter what

And this lovely flower you have given to me,

I want to share it with everyone

A hundred-thousand names not even known by one lone soul

Surely someday they'll get the kindness they crave

With just a wish, a little flame that's blown away

Ah, my crocodile tears

Shed just to push them away

But, finding myself alone

That was the moment that I realized...

Always I've said "I'll do it another day"

I never saw the value in the friends I have now

From the moment we were born, we breathed the same air

That is true of all who live in this world

Living in the same time with the same feelings

We'll come to understand each other, no matter what

And this lovely flower you have given to me,

I want to share it with everyone

"Why can't there be a chain connected to our hearts?

Binding our love to each other," I screamed to the void

All I want is a connection born of true feeling

Then I turn to see you looking at me,

Being there for me...

Always I've said "Well, I'm busy today"

I'm sorry I never saw all the friends I have now

From the moment we were born, we've shared in this bond

That is true of all who live in this world

Living in the same time with the same feelings

We'll come to understand each other, no matter what

This flower that, of all people, you gave to me

I want to share it with everyone

Keep on loving me

But don't close off your heart to the world

"Nobody loves me,

I just wanna share a bond with somebody!"

Aah, lala lala... I'm sure it'll be better than you thought

Take it easy, it's alright

'Cause I'm gonna stay right by your side
