Wait a while, until the wind grows still
People move on through valleys of the lost
Carrying countless words behind them
Laughing, learning what their sins have cost
Mana lives in stone and in the heart
A fragile dream in worlds that drift apart
If we learn and think, the road is near
Yet we wander far, then circle home
Like a fish that finds the water again
The heart still longs to swim and run free
Dreams we grasp may burst like bubbles
Still we reach for what may never be
Wait a while, the journey goes on
Even in the dust, our lives are beautiful
Wait a while, wait a while
Idle days still carry meaning
Wounds are hidden inside our jokes
Secret nights and honeymoon moments
Fade away with the morning smoke
Write one stroke without clever tricks
Sometimes the first line says it all
The path is close, we know it well
Still we wander, lost in desire
We throw away the need for answers
And fall in love again within the fire
Sound of water echoes in the chest
We turn south and start to walk again
Even when what we lean on is gone
Still a mysterious inner spark remains
Wait a while, the bell will ring
Beyond the dark, a road remains
Wait a while, wait a while
Close the page of “mu,” and “me” will sprout
Pages never truly end
The journey has no end

Wait a While
kneeking Records
Quietly, beneath the sound of turning pages, the words are still breathing.
Wait a While is an introspective lyrical work born from the long-running journey through the dictionary. Carrying countless definitions along the way, the human spirit continues to hesitate, to learn, to love, and to keep moving forward. This universal human arc is portrayed through a soundscape filled with quiet heat.
Mana. Water. Stillness. Purity.
These themes gently intersect, forming a calm yet deeply resonant sonic landscape. The track affirms the beauty of imperfection and the quiet strength found in simply continuing the journey.
There is no need to hurry.
Even as we are, we are allowed to live beautifully.
Presented by Kneeking Records,
a piece that gazes into the delicate boundary between words and existence.
Artist Profile
kneeking Records
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that translates The Dictionary Journey into sound. The label was founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, a lifelong dictionary traveler, and a former kickboxing world champion. Since 2013, Yoshihiro has been reading dictionaries one page at a time writing, reflecting, and quietly documenting each newly discovered word. In 2025, these accumulated records began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey is an ongoing exploration. With each passing day, new words are encountered, and their traces continue to grow steadily and without end. Kneeking Records spans a wide range of genres, including Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times, Punk Rock. While honoring the natural rhythm of language, the label pursues sound that is both refined and deeply listenable transforming the voice descending from calligraphy into music. That is the sound of Kneeking Records.
