風のように 季節を越えて
君を想い続けよう
雨の中で 君を呼んでいる
僕は１人じゃない １人じゃない
春がくればまた君に会える気がしてる
僕はそう信じている
目を閉じた瞬間 止まっていた時間が動き出す
君の笑顔 変わらないね
「大丈夫ずっと一緒だよ 何も心配ないよ」
あの時の言葉は 誰に宛てたのかな
「怖がらなくて平気だよ 過去や未来気にしないで」
振り返れば 遥か彼方
風のように 季節を越えて
君を想い続けよう
雨の中で 君を呼んでいる
僕は１人じゃない １人じゃない
僕の空が真っ暗に変わる頃
君の空には朝が来る
手紙を書くよ 届くかもわからないけれど
少しは気休めになる
「もう一度もし会えたら ２人で何処かへ行こうよ」
無邪気にはしゃぐ君が映ってる
「新しい門出を２人で祝おうよ」
せめて君が君じゃなかったら
風のように 季節を越えて
君を想い続けよう
雨の中で 君を呼んでいる
僕は１人じゃない １人じゃない
未来はいつもすぐ側にあるよ
過去はいつも君を見ているよ
だから 僕も 側で…
風のように 季節を越えて
君を想い続けよう
雨の中で 君を呼んでいる
僕は１人じゃない １人じゃない

I know that you’re hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn’t say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You’ll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears ‘cause I’ll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I’m not afraid to say what’s in my heart
Though a thousand words have never been spoken
They’ll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words, one thousand confessions
They’ll cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They’ll hold you forever
The dream isn’t over yet
Though I often say I can forget
I still relive that day
You’ve been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me, I’ll write you letters
I could see how you stand with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I’d hung my head and said that I couldn’t wait
But now I’m strong enough to know it’s not too late
‘Cause a thousand words cry out through the ages
They’ll fly to you even though I can’t see
I know they’re reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words, one thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They’ll hold you forever

Run through the cold of the night as passion burns in your heart
Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side
Like a proud wolf alone in the dark with eyes that watch the world
And my name like a shadow on the face of the moon
Broken mirror, a million shades of light, the old echo fades away
But just you and I can find the answer and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world
Cold fire clenched to my heart in the blue of night
Torn by this pain, I paint your name in sound
And the girl of the dawn with eyes of blue and angel wings
The songs of the season are her only crown
Broken mirror, a million shades of light, the old echo fades away
But just you and I can find the answer and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world
We met in the mist of morning and parted deep in the night
Broken sword and shield and tears that never fall but run through the heart
Broken mirror, a million shades of light, the old echo fades away
But just you and I can find the answer and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

This is my entry for the 2022 GameGrooves Album Challenge, and it's also the very first album of video game music that I've been able to release on Bandcamp. Although I tried to figure out a theme, I ultimately settled on just doing pieces that I love. I always have a hard time picking just one genre, so I decided to try representing a few different musical styles across this album. Each of these games (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Xenogears) has had a huge impact on my life, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share this music with you.
