千羽のことづて || Senba no Kotodzute

### 🎶 **Verse 1** I fold the quiet into wings, Corner to corner, breathe and crease. Whispers in washi, ink-stained dreams, All the things I couldn’t speak. My hands remember what I lost, Folding peace from paper cost. *kazoku no tame ni...* (for my family...) ### 🎶 **Chorus** A thousand cranes, they float above, Made from paper, pain, and love. Let them fly where I can’t go — Through silent skies and Tokyo snow. The wind may tear, the wings may drift, But still, I send each folded gift. *todoku kana...* (I wonder if they’ll reach…) ### 🎶 **Verse 2** Left my name in every fold, Soft like stories never told. The world is loud, I disappear — But these white wings, they still hear. Bent edges hold what I’ve survived, Each crease a year I stayed alive. *shinjiteru. I still believe.* ### 🎶 **Bridge** I don’t pray out loud, I fold. Hope don’t need to shine like gold. Maybe healing isn’t fast — Maybe strength is built to last. Some fix with fire, some with thread, I build from what I never said. *uragiri wa nakatta…* (there was no betrayal…) ### 🎶 **Final Chorus** A thousand cranes, and I let go, Carried by the winds I’ll never know. One wish whispered, nothing more — And somehow, that’s what dreams are for. Not every path is meant to show, But paper wings still choose to go. *kami ni yudaneru...* (I leave it to the gods…) ### 🎶 Outro *Oyasumi, sekai…* (Good night, world…) The folds remain, though time will fade. *Watashi wa koko ni iru.* (I’m still here.) Crane number one thousand lifts my name. It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t flame — Just flies away, just flies the same.
