English:

For instance, if I quickly ran away now,
would you search for me?
Until I'm found, is it ok to wait while believing
that people are kind?

Becoming an adult,
or staying an innocent child;
which one is worse?
Let's stop asking those questions.
If you bloom.

If we were in this city overflowing with people,
would you listen to me?
Will this neverending
shout reach anyone?

While you know that you'll wither eventually,
you're loved, still beautifully.
What kind of bravery do you need
to grow straight and tall?

Becoming an adult,
or staying an innocent child;
which one is worse?
Let's stop asking those questions.
If you bloom.

While you know that you'll be scattered sometime,
even if you're stepped on you're still proud.
What kind of strength do you need
to grow straight and tall?

Looking back at the days past,
or having hope for tomorrow,
which one is scarier?
Let's stop asking those questions.
If you bloom.
