A compass with a broken needle

Sometimes, life feels like you're sailing alone and in solitude across a vast ocean on a pitch-black night. No matter how hard you try, your efforts go unrewarded... No matter how many times you get back up, you're knocked down by the rough waves each time. To you, who have kept walking all the way to today while enduring that sadness: I want to gently be there for you. On the vast ocean of life, there are nights when you lose sight of the direction you should take, and even the compass you relied on breaks. At times like that, I want you to lift your face just a little and look up at the night sky. No matter how dark and lonely the sea may be, stars that mark the time and the path are surely shining above you. Even if they're hidden by clouds and you can't see them right now, the stars themselves will never disappear! Hope is surely the same. Even if you can't see it yet... Even if it's still out of reach... Let's not lose faith-let's believe that the tears you've shed and the efforts no one saw will one day become the path leading to the future! That's right! That's exactly why, even if your compass breaks, please don't lose the courage to look forward again, trusting in the twinkling of the stars. It's okay not to go fast! It's okay to stop! It's okay to take a detour! Because the footprints you've left by continuing to walk without giving up will surely lead you someday to a place only you can reach! I hope this song can be a star that lights up the dark sea for you as you struggle to live your life amidst life's rough waves. Even if it's just a faint light, I'd be happy if it could be a steady one. On nights when you're suffering, I'll gently stay by your side through the pain you can't put into words, and when a morning comes when you can look forward just a little, I want to take a new step forward with you. Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... I want to keep walking alongside you, the one listening to this song. No matter how deep the night may be, a new morning is always waiting on the other side. May the twinkle of the star you believe in guide you to a place where you can laugh from the bottom of your heart someday. And may your tomorrow surely be a happy one.
