Lyric

The wind still carries a winter chill

The distant sky wears a pale, soft light

Deep beneath the quiet earth

A heartbeat waits for its time to rise

Rushing for no one’s schedule

Racing against no other soul

Enduring the frost of the winter nights

Knowing the rhythm of its own season

From the north down to the south

The news arrives at a gentle pace

Painting the lines across the map

A trail of pale pink cherry lace

Though the branches look bare to the eye

They are counting the seconds 'til they fly

The Sakura Front is moving on

Bringing the voice that says "The time is now"

Burning through a life so short and bright

In full bloom, reaching for the sky

Not blooming just to fall away

But to carve the moment into time

Even a flash of brilliance here

Is proof of the eternal light

Everyone knows the petals fall

They’ll scatter in the wind so soon

Yet people can't help but stop their steps

And look up at the afternoon

A hundred years within the trunk

Countless springs are etched inside

Same place, same sky, every year

But no two flowers are ever the same

Trembling in the passing breeze

Speaking of strength, more than fragility

The Sakura Front is moving on

Weaving its way through the islands' soul

North to south, a relay of life

Passing the torch through the ages of time

Falling down is not the end

The roots hold the earth in a deep embrace

Decades, centuries, moving on

Standing tall a thousand years from now

(Ahh ahh ahh)

Through the nights of the howling storm

Through the pain that no one ever saw

When the spring arrives once again

The buds appear without a doubt or flaw

Knowing exactly when to shine

And paint the world in a perfect hue

Waiting without a restless heart

Waiting for the sky to turn to blue

Even if the brilliance doesn't last

It doesn't mean it has no soul

If you paint the sky just once in time

It’s proof that you were alive and whole

And every person deep inside

Carries a Sakura Front of their own

Even in the dead of winter’s heart

The seeds of spring have already grown

The Sakura Front is moving on

Somewhere a flower opens today

With the strength that does not fear the end

Connecting the earth and the sky in its way

Blooming, falling, circling 'round

In the seasons that never cease to flow

Standing tall in the same old place

Without a name, through the ages they go

Quietly and proudly they declare

"I am here, and I have always been"

When petals melt into the wind

The trunk waits for the spring in silence

Knowing the light will come again

That silhouette is eternity

(The Sakura Front returns again)

(Time and time again)
