ok, so I don't like posting song lyrics, but this is one of my favorite songs ever. I've loved it since I heard it for the very first time in '99. it's called MEMORIES and it's from the ONE PIECE anime ending

小さな頃には宝の地図が
頭の中に浮かんでいて
いつでも探したキセキの場所を
知らない誰かに負けないように

今ではほこりだらけの毎日
いつの日かすべての
時に身を委せるだけ

もしも世界が変わるのなら
何も知らない頃の私に
連れていって　思い出が色あせないように

小さな頃から歌を唄って
夢見る心あたためてた
みんなで真似した秘密のメロディー
今度は上手に聞こえるように

今ではため息ついてばかりで
誰もまだ本当の
夢さえつかめないまま

もしも時代が戻るのなら
涙を知った頃の私に
連れていって　せつなさが追いつかないように

もしも世界が変わるのなら
何も知らない頃の私に
連れていって　思い出が色あせないように

連れていって　せつなさが追いつかないように

It's such a great song!

when I was young, a treasure map
was spread in my mind
making sure that someone unknown won't take
the miraculous place that I've been searching for
right now, it's life filled with dusts
someday, I'll leave it up to
everything's time
if the world ever changes
take me to myself that never knew a thing
making sure that memories won't fade away

I was singing since I was small
warming the heart that dreams
the secret melody that everyone imitated
making sure that it can be done better this time
right now, I keep on sighing
everyone is still unable to
grab the true dream
if the time ever goes back
takle me to myself that learned tears
making sure that loneliness can't catch up

if the world ever changes
take me to myself that never knew a thing
making sure that memories won't fade away
making sure that loneliness can't catch up

Actually, I don't really like that translatioin. I got it off a webstie. but I'm too lazy to make my own. oh well - it gets the point across...
