I remember that day
My heart was not so pure
I walked forward against the wind
My heart was filled with complaints
I don't know when I had been hurt
But the hurt gave me feeling

I am not recalling
And I don't want to recall again
But that unclear past makes this wind more intense
That unconstant will makes this hurt more painful
My heart has only love
But love cannot protect me
Oh Yeah. I can only believe in myself

Still on that day
I wanted to release all my feelings
I walked forward against the wind
Unafraid to walk further and further away
I don't know why on earth I was so enraged
But this rage gave me feeling

I am not recalling
And I don't want to recall again
But so many years of wind constantly blowing and shifting
Blew so many people's pain in recurring revolutions
My heart has only love
But love cannot protect me
Oh Yeah. I can only depend on myself.

I want to search for the source of my rage
Then I have to walk forward against the wind
I want to release all of my feelings
Then I have to walk forward against the wind
I want to use hope to replace hate and hurt
Then I have to walk forward against the wind
I want to end this last complaint
Then I have to walk forward against the wind

Forward. Forward.
I walk forward against the wind
Forward. Forward.
I walk forward against the wind
