Twenty-two

"Life is a pink color," my mother said when I was born
"Smiling is a wonderful thing," my mother said when I turned five
Even if my teeth are uneven, my legs are not long, and my shoulders are not slender
The Sun is partially flat, but why does the world always need it?
 
"Be proud of yourself," my mother said when I turned ten
"Don't hesitate to do what you want," my mother said when I was twelve
Even if sometimes I lose my way and forget the path
Growing up is a wonderful thing, learning from mistakes to be right
 
Later, at twenty-two, you'll see your beautiful eyes
Hearing your pure singing voice may make you special at times
And remember, in this world, no one has to be like anyone else
So, at twenty-two, live carefree like you did at twelve
 
First love is a wonderful thing that you'll remember for a lifetime
Every touch and every gentleness will make your heart flutter
Don't care too much about where you and he will end up
Memories remain, no matter how far anyone goes
 
Later, at twenty-two, you'll see your beautiful eyes
Hearing your pure singing voice may make you special at times
And remember, in this world, no one has to be like anyone else
So, at twenty-two, live carefree like you did at twelve
 
Later, at twenty-two, let your song resonate everywhere
Spreading the love you're holding, shining across the vast horizon
It might be tough sometimes when you feel lonely
But it's okay, as giving without expecting anything in return is enough
 
Twenty-two (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Twenty-two (ooh-wooh)
It might be tough sometimes when you feel lonely
But it's okay, as giving without expecting anything in return is enough
 
Twenty-two
Twenty-two
Twenty-two
Twenty-two
 
The Earth is a circle, so the world revolves
What you receive is what you've unconsciously given
So, if you ever leave this place later on
Don't be afraid and hesitate because leaving is also a way to come back.
