Life Is Like A Boat Lyrics
Rōmaji= Nobody knows who I really am

I never felt this empty before

And if I ever need someone to come along

Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate

The waves keep on coming and we can't escape

But if we ever get lost on our way

The waves would guide you through another day

Tōku de iki o shiteru tōmei ni natta mitai

Kurayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisarete tadake

Inori o sasagete atarashii hi wo matsu

Azayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

Nobody knows who I really am

Maybe they just don't give a damn

But if I ever need someone to come along

I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

Hito no kokoro wa utsuri yuku nukedashita kunaru

Tsuki wa mada atarashii shūki de mune o tsureteku

And every time I see your face

The ocean heaves up to my heart

You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon

I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore

When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am

I never thought I'd feel this way towards you

And if you ever need someone to come along

I will follow you, and keep you strong

Tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo

Tsuki wa mata atarashii shūki de fune o terashidasu

Inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu

Asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

And every time I see your face

The ocean heaves up to my heart

You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon

I can see the shore

Unmei no fune o kogi nami wa tsugi kara tsuki e to watashi-tachi o sō kedo

Sore mo suteki na tabi ne, dore mo suteki na tabi ne English= Nobody knows who I really am

I never felt this empty before

And if I ever need someone to come along

Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate

The waves keep on coming and we can't escape

But if we ever get lost on our way

The waves would guide you through another day

Far away, I'm breathing, as if I were transparent

It would seem I was in the dark, but I was only blindfolded

I give a prayer as I wait for the new day

Shining vividly up to the edge of that sea

Nobody knows who I really am

Maybe they just don't give a damn

But if I ever need someone to come along

I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

People's hearts change and sneak away from them

The moon in its new cycle leads the boats again

And every time I see your face

The ocean heaves up to my heart

You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon

I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore

When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am

I never thought I'd feel this way towards you

And if you ever need someone to come along

I will follow you, and keep you strong

And still the journey continues on quiet days as well

The moon in its new cycle shines on the boats again

I give a prayer as I wait for the new day

Shining vividly up to the edge of that sea

And every time I see your face

The ocean heaves up to my heart

You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon

I can see the shore

We are rowing the boat of fate, but the waves keep attacking us

But isn't that still a wonderful journey? Aren't any of them a wonderful journey?
