歌詞

“If it’s not a princess, then it’s just not for me”

That morning line changed the air we breathe

On the tablet’s screen, a sparkling dream

But somehow… it wasn’t quite what it seemed

Shaking your head at “not this one”

You reached for paper, sketch begun

With tiny hands, you drew your dream

And showed it straight to me, so clear and clean

A feeling you couldn’t put in words

Was living there in lines I’d never heard

“This is what I want,” you softly said

And I felt the meaning in my head

Not “this will do” — but “this is the one”

It’s not the same, but it’s the choice you won

Your favorite girl with the red hair bright

Different from your dream, but it still felt right

And you told me so, with a courage full of light

By afternoon, at Tokyo Station’s square

“I’ll be late again,” your mom declared

I sighed, but you just looked at me

And said, “It’s fine, she’s busy, can’t you see?”

I was stunned — just five years old

Already showing a heart that’s bold

But a moment later, you turned around

“You’re late!” you said, with that honest sound

The way you care, yet still speak true

Both live inside the heart of you

That straight and fearless way you stand

Is something rare I understand

Not “this will do” — but “this is the one”

It’s not the dream, but it’s the thing you won

The cover you picked with your own small hands

And the courage to say what your heart commands

Both are pieces of the truth that you understand

It’s not so easy to let them know

The feelings you’re ready to let show

But today you did, and I could see

A little choice with a heart so free

Not “this will do” — but “this is the one”

Laughing, deciding, the choice is done

Between the dream and the life we live

You found your “this is the one” to give

And those words will light tomorrow’s sun
