Lyric

I’m an ugly monster

Living deep within the mountains

But the wind called out to me, curiosity

Led me to peek at the human world

I transformed into a rabbit, came down the hill

Caught in a trap, I couldn’t move

Then you ran to me

And quietly, you saved me

“Are you okay?” your voice called

Even the clock that should never move

Creaked and ticked…

Ka-chi-ri…

The world suddenly exploded

Sparkling, dazzling, shining bright

My chest pierced with sweet pain

I feel like I might break

Why am I this ugly monster?

I wish I had been born a rabbit

I couldn’t stop thinking of you

Wandering the mountains with no aim

By the riverside, I found you crying

My feet ran on their own

But when you saw my reflection in the water

You’d surely be scared

So I tightly close my eyes, hold my breath

And become a rabbit again

You smile as I run to you

“Did you get hurt again?”

Though you were crying, you gently stroke me

Ka-chi-ri…

I can’t wipe away your tears

My trembling hands I hide

I’m an ugly monster

Wearing the skin of a rabbit

A voice that can’t be spoken

Burns in my chest

Please, oh please

I only wish

That for even a little while

You’d see me as the rabbit

Reflected in your eyes

I can’t wipe away your tears

I’m an ugly monster

Wearing the skin of a rabbit

If even this feeling is a sin

Then please, in a dream

Let me stay by your side
