**[00:09] Ruka**
Hey! Lookin' good, lookin' good!
**[00:12] Ruka**
It's starting to feel like a festival!
**[00:14] Ruka**
I'm getting pumped!
**[00:15] Gaku**
Yeah, but you know,
**[00:17] Gaku**
the more people who show up,
the more trouble we'll have to deal with.
**[00:20] Boy A**
Oh, Patrolman Ruka!
Thanks for working so hard!
**[00:24] Ruka**
Yeah, right back atcha.
**[00:26] Courtesan**
Sir Gaku, have you been avoiding me?
**[00:30] Gaku**
Sorry, I'm busy with work. Another time.
**[00:34] Courtesan**
Oh, you're simply heartless.
**[00:37] Courtesan**
But that's what makes you so lovable.

**[00:41] Reiji**
I'm heading out.
**[00:42] Reiji**
Hold down the fort, okay?
**[00:51] Reiji**
I see why you're the top
dancer in Botan, Ayumu-kun.
**[00:54] Reiji**
You sure put in the hours.
**[00:57] Ayumu**
Of course I do. The festival's coming up.
**[01:00] Ayumu**
And you're going to play around
all night again? Come on.
**[01:04] Reiji**
Playing is my job, so it's okay.
**[01:07] Reiji**
Don't work so hard you pass out, okay?
**[01:11] Ayumu**
Mind your own business.
**[01:15] Reiji**
Hey. How's it going, you two?
**[01:18] Gaku**
Reiji? Did Shou ask you to come as well?
**[01:21] Reiji**
Well, yeah. Does that mean
he asked you guys too?
**[01:24] Shou**
Hey.
**[01:26] Shou**
Hello, patrolmen of Botan,
the largest pleasure district in the west.
**[01:30] Shou**
Are festival preparations coming along?
**[01:32] Ruka**
Yeah! Right on schedule!
**[01:34] Reiji**
The inns are all booked up.
**[01:36] Reiji**
It's bound to be a success.
**[01:38] Shou**
That's good to hear.
**[01:39] Gaku**
Has something happened?
**[01:41] Shou**
Hmm... Has it happened,
or is it going to happen?
**[01:45] Reiji**
Huh?
**[01:46] Ruka**
There it is! Shou-kun's sixth sense!
**[01:49] Haruto**
Shou...
**[01:50] Haruto**
I mean Boss! Something's happened!
**[01:52] Shou**
See what I mean?
**[02:13] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh
**[02:17] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
**[02:20] [SONG] ---**
Catch up with and overtake
**[02:23] [SONG] ---**
Get a brand new world
**[02:25] [SONG] ---**
I put my foot down and push off,
but the pedal feels so
**[02:28] [SONG] ---**
heavy and so hard to start, yeah
**[02:31] [SONG] ---**
But once I get going you'll see
**[02:33] [SONG] ---**
I'm not moving slow
**[02:36] [SONG] ---**
I'm right with you, let's go
**[02:38] [SONG] ---**
Race all the way up the hill, see the view
**[02:41] [SONG] ---**
I know you feel the awe
**[02:43] [SONG] ---**
'Cause everywhere we go
**[02:45] [SONG] ---**
Shines bright for me and you
**[02:50] [SONG] ---**
Fly high, far as we can go
**[02:53] [SONG] ---**
Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
**[02:56] [SONG] ---**
Then next the sky, and up to space
**[02:58] [SONG] ---**
No delay
**[03:00] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!
**[03:01] [SONG] ---**
With wind at our backs,
faster than a highway
**[03:04] [SONG] ---**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[03:07] [SONG] ---**
Soon everyone will know
**[03:10] [SONG] ---**
We're grabbing victory today
**[03:12] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!
**[03:13] [SONG] ---**
If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to
**[03:16] [SONG] ---**
send you miracles, come what may
**[03:18] [SONG] ---**
And that's because we
**[03:19] [SONG] ---**
never give up, never give up
**[03:21] [SONG] ---**
We're free and the sun is lighting our way
***SIGN*** Lucida • Part Two
**[03:34] Shou**
What a handsome young man.
He clearly isn't from the city.
**[03:40] Naosuke**
Huh... What?
**[03:43] Naosuke**
Yuma!
**[03:44] Haruto**
Don't move.
**[03:46] Haruto**
I mean, if you want to,
I won't stop you, but it'll be painful.
**[03:50] Haruto**
I mean, if you like pain, go right ahead.
**[03:53] Naosuke**
Um...
**[03:54] Shou**
He's right. You shouldn't overdo it.
**[03:57] Shou**
Why don't you just relax
and tell us what happened?
**[04:00] Naosuke**
Uh, o-okay.
**[04:03] Naosuke**
Um, where should I start?
**[04:06] Shou**
Take your time.
**[04:07] Haruto**
In that case, Shou,
should I cancel your dinner plans?
**[04:11] Shou**
Ah, that's right. Please do.
**[04:13] Naosuke**
Shou...
**[04:15] Naosuke**
Could you possibly be...
Shou Onoda of House Botan?
**[04:19] Haruto**
How do you know his name?
**[04:21] Naosuke**
Wait, does that mean this *is* Botan?
**[04:25] Naosuke**
What should I do? Yuma still has it...
**[04:28] Naosuke**
Oh yeah! Where are the others?
**[04:30] Shou**
My...
**[04:31] Shou**
It seems you know who I am,
but who might you be?
**[04:35] Naosuke**
Um, thank you very much for saving me.
**[04:38] Naosuke**
My name is Naosuke Oyama.
I've come from Kikyo.
**[04:43] Naosuke**
Takaaki-san asked me to
deliver a document to you.
**[04:46] Shou**
Takaaki?
**[04:48] Shou**
Ah, Taka-chan the astrologist!
**[04:51] All**
"Taka-chan"?
**[04:52] Shou**
Is he well?
**[04:53] Naosuke**
Yes!
**[04:54] Reiji**
From Kikyo, huh?
**[04:56] Reiji**
There's a district chairman
there named Oyama...
**[04:59] Gaku**
Hmm, so he isn't lying.
**[05:02] Haruto**
Then where's the document?
**[05:04] Naosuke**
Well... my companion
and I got separated...
**[05:10] Shou**
I see.
**[05:12] Shou**
So this companion of yours,
Yuma, has the document?
**[05:15] Naosuke**
Yes! I must go look for
him as soon as possible.
**[05:19] Ruka**
You were attacked by assassins.
No wonder you're so worried.
**[05:23] Shou**
Don't worry. Finding people
is our specialty. Right, guys?
**[05:28] Haruto**
Yeah. Just leave it all to us patrolmen.
**[05:32] Gaku; Reiji; Ruka**
Yeah.
**[05:37] Yuma**
Where is Nao-sama? I hope he's all right.
**[05:41] Issa**
Just calm down.
**[05:43] Issa**
Where there's people, there's information.
**[05:45] Issa**
Coming to town here is our best option.
**[05:49] Futaba**
Considering the direction of the river,
he probably washed up around here.
**[05:53] Yuma**
I really hope so.
***SIGN*** Tenbaya
**[05:54] Reiji**
Yo, welcome!
**[05:56] Reiji**
Huh? You guys...
**[05:59] Futaba**
Huh? Erm, can we help you...?
**[06:01] Reiji**
A beautiful blond boy,
a friendly-looking gentle giant,
**[06:06] Reiji**
and a sinister, black-haired
babe with a beauty mark!
**[06:08] Issa**
Huh? You trying to pick a fight?
**[06:11] Reiji**
Welcome to the famed pleasure
district of the west, Botan!
***SIGN*** Tenbaya
**[06:16] Reiji**
I'm sure we have what you're looking for!
**[06:28] Haruto**
Shou. About that matter...
**[06:31] Shou**
It sounds like they found your companion.
**[06:33] Shou**
Isn't that great?
**[06:34] Naosuke**
Huh? Already?!
**[06:35] Naosuke**
Amazing. Thank you very m—
**[06:38] Naosuke**
Ouch!
**[06:38] Haruto**
There's no rush.
Reiji-san is bringing him here now.
**[06:44] Yuma**
Truly?! Is it really Nao-sama, though?
**[06:47] Reiji**
Enough already. Come see him for yourself.
**[06:51] Futaba**
Please excuse him.
The boy is devoted to his master.
**[06:54] Reiji**
Oh yeah, I heard you were
attacked by assassins.
**[06:57] Reiji**
Were you able to catch them?
**[06:59] Futaba**
Well, in the confusion after
Nao-kun fell in the river...
**[07:03] Issa**
They got away.
**[07:06] Reiji**
If that's the case, there's a good chance
they've made their way to the city too.
**[07:11] Issa**
Yeah, very unfortunately.
**[07:14] Reiji**
Watch your backs.
This place attracts all kinds.
**[07:17] Reiji**
They'll let anyone in here.
**[07:20] Yuma**
Huh?
**[07:21] Yuma**
I'm worried about Nao-sama. Let's hurry!
**[07:23] Reiji**
Fine, fine. Want to take a shortcut, then?
**[07:31] Reiji**
Oh, man. Looks like I spoke too soon.
**[07:37] Issa**
Of course they're after...
**[07:38] Futaba**
Yuma-kun, right?
**[07:44] Issa**
Damn it. Don't you ever give up?
**[07:46] Futaba**
I won't go easy on you!
**[07:50] Reiji**
Watch the face, pal!
**[07:52] Yuma**
Th-This is bad.
**[07:56] Reiji**
You said it.
**[08:00] Naosuke**
Thank you for this, um...
**[08:03] Ayumu**
It's Ayumu.
**[08:04] Ayumu**
It's always important to look your
best when you meet someone dear.
**[08:08] Ayumu**
There. That's better.
**[08:12] Ayumu**
Rock?
**[08:19] Issa**
Before we get surrounded, take Yuma and run!
**[08:22] Futaba**
Okay.
**[08:26] Naosuke**
Yuma!
**[08:28] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[08:29] Warlock**
You again?
**[08:31] Warlock**
Get out of my way.
**[08:34] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[08:38] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[08:43] Yuma**
Nao-sama, are you all right?
**[08:45] Naosuke**
Yuma...
**[08:46] Naosuke**
Yeah, I'm okay.
**[08:52] Reiji**
Oh, whoops.
**[08:53] Reiji**
Ayumu? You... What are you doing here?
**[08:58] Ruka**
Time for Ruka-sama's glorious entrance!
**[09:00] Ruka**
Sorry for the wait!
**[09:02] Haruto**
Followed by Haruto-kun!
**[09:06] Gaku**
Hey, you left us patrolmen out of it,
and now look at the mess you made.
**[09:12] Warlock**
Damn it... We'll have to retreat.
**[09:15] Shou**
Oh yeah? Where to?
**[09:16] Warlock**
Who are you?!
**[09:17] Shou**
You're not going anywhere.
**[09:20] Shou**
Good work, everyone!
**[09:22] Naosuke**
Yuma!
**[09:23] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[09:40] Naosuke**
Wow, amazing!
**[09:42] Yuma**
Ayumu-san looks beautiful.
**[09:52] Shou**
Now I understand.
**[09:57] Shou**
Yuma, this document contains
information about your past.
**[10:03] Shou**
He read it in the stars.
**[10:05] Yuma**
Takaaki-sama did? He read my stars?
**[10:09] Shou**
Shall I read it to you?
**[10:10] Yuma**
Please let me think about it first.
**[10:13] Shou**
All right. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
**[10:18] Yuma**
A long time ago, I lived out of a wagon
with a troupe of traveling actors.
**[10:24] Naosuke**
Huh?
**[10:25] Yuma**
My father and mother died in an epidemic
when I was young, and the troupe took me in.
**[10:32] Yuma**
They were all such
good people. Life was a joy.
**[10:36] Yuma**
Until that day...
**[10:41] (Flashback) Assassin**
Find the blond brat!
**[10:46] (Flashback) Assassin**
There you are.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Assassin**
You brat!
**[10:56] (Flashback) Assassin**
End of the line!
**[11:00] (Flashback) Warrior**
Don't worry. You're safe now.
**[11:08] (Flashback) Yuma (kid)**
I survived!
**[11:10] (Flashback) Yuma (kid)**
But if I stay, everyone will...
**[11:15] Yuma**
You found and rescued me
right after that happened.
**[11:21] Naosuke**
They've been after you for that long?
**[11:24] Naosuke**
That must have been terrible, Yuma.
**[11:28] Yuma**
Nao-sama...
**[11:29] Yuma**
But now I'm afraid to learn the truth.
**[11:33] Yuma**
There's a chance I'll find out that
I'm not fit to be by your side.
**[11:38] Naosuke**
That'll never happen!
**[11:40] Yuma**
But... Issa-san's reading
said that I bring misfortune.
**[11:43] Naosuke**
Astrology isn't infallible!
**[11:45] Naosuke**
No matter where you're from,
you're still you!
**[11:48] Naosuke**
You're my best friend and brother!
**[11:51] Naosuke**
I've stood by you,
Yuma Shirase, all this time.
**[11:55] Naosuke**
I promise I'll never abandon you,
no matter what it says!
**[12:01] Yuma**
Nao-sama... Thank you so much.
**[12:08] Shou**
Hey. Did you sleep well last night?
**[12:11] Yuma**
Yes. I think I'm ready now.
**[12:15] Shou**
Then I'll tell you.
**[12:16] Shou**
When Takaaki read your stars,
**[12:19] Shou**
he saw an image of a flower
with a horse that was white.
**[12:22] Yuma**
A flower and horse that's white?
**[12:26] Naosuke**
Yuma, could that be...
**[12:29] Yuma**
A horse and a flower...
White Horse Merchandise?
**[12:32] Ruka**
Like, the famous White Horse clan?
**[12:34] Reiji**
The White Horse clan of Geppaku, eh?
**[12:36] Reiji**
Originally, they were peddlers who
traveled from country to country.
**[12:40] Ayumu**
Right. But now they're a distinguished house
**[12:43] Ayumu**
with a mansion in the capital of Geppaku.
**[12:46] Yuma**
But what connection could I possibly
have to White Horse Merchandise?
**[12:52] Naosuke**
Now that I think about it,
**[12:54] Naosuke**
could this have something
to do with what happened before?
**[12:57] Shou**
What happened before?
**[12:58] Yuma**
Yes. Actually...
**[13:01] Shou**
I see. Back in Kikyo...
**[13:04] Shou**
That might be when they
realized who you are, Yuma.
**[13:08] Yuma**
Huh?
**[13:09] Haruto**
Botan gets information
from all around the continent.
**[13:14] Haruto**
In truth, we heard long ago
that the elder of the White Horse clan,
**[13:18] Haruto**
Ro Hakuba, was searching
for his long-lost grandson.
**[13:21] Naosuke**
Huh? Do you mean his grandson is...
**[13:24] Shou**
Yes. It's probably Yuma.
**[13:26] Yuma**
Me? But how could I be?
**[13:28] Shou**
We have one other reason to think so.
**[13:31] Shou**
We made the assassins talk,
and they told us something crucial—
**[13:36] Shou**
who's behind these attempts on your life.
**[13:38] Yuma**
What? Who is it?
**[13:41] Shou**
Shumei Hakuba, your father's younger brother.
**[13:45] Yuma**
My father's brother? Then...
**[13:48] Shou**
That would make him your uncle.
**[13:52] Shou**
It seems he was able to identify you
and sent the assassins after you.
**[13:57] Shou**
Your injured eye was the proof they needed.
**[14:00] Yuma**
My injured eye?
**[14:02] Yuma**
Don't tell me they're
who attacked me back then...
**[14:06] Reiji**
So we've got a blood feud on our hands.
**[14:09] Reiji**
He must be after the
White Horse clan's fortune.
**[14:12] Yuma**
That's it? It was all for *that*?
**[14:16] Yuma**
And not only me... They went after
the people around me, too.
**[14:20] Yuma**
How could they?
**[14:22] Shou**
So, Yuma, what are you going to do now?
**[14:26] Yuma**
I want to face my uncle and ask him directly.
**[14:30] Yuma**
I need to know the truth.
**[14:32] Yuma**
If I don't, then I'll never
be able to move on.
**[14:36] Shou**
Very well. But first,
I have one thing to ask.
**[14:40] Shou**
Are you prepared to take center stage?
**[14:45] Yuma**
Nao-sama.
**[14:47] Yuma**
All right. I'll take the stage.
**[14:51] Shou**
Good.
**[14:52] Shou**
In that case, let's go all out.
**[14:54] Shou**
For the honor of Botan, Flower of the West,
**[14:56] Shou**
we'll prepare a once-in-a-lifetime
production that shall not be forgotten!
**[15:00] Yuma**
A once-in-a-lifetime production?
**[15:03] Shou**
Don't worry. Just leave everything to us.
**[15:06] Shou**
Haruto, would you run an errand for me?
**[15:09] Haruto**
Yes, sir!
**[15:55] Shumei**
Why did Father suddenly
decide to come to Botan?
**[15:58] Shumei**
Does he know something?
No, there's no way he has proof...
**[16:05] Ruka**
Hello, everyone! May I have your attention?
**[16:07] Ruka**
Thanks for waiting!
**[16:08] Ruka**
The main event of this year's
Botan Festival is about to begin!
**[16:12] Yuma**
Y-You didn't say anything about an audience!
**[16:16] Shou**
Oh, dear. The audience is
what makes it all work.
**[16:19] Shou**
If people are watching, your enemy
can't make any reckless moves.
**[16:23] Yuma**
But turning it into a
festival performance...
**[16:26] Yuma**
Is this really okay?
**[16:27] Reiji**
Sure it is.
**[16:29] Reiji**
Botan is a city of fun and entertainment,
**[16:32] Reiji**
where everything gets turned
into an attraction or a show.
**[16:36] Reiji**
Everyone here is used to it.
**[16:38] Ayumu**
I know how you feel, but that's
just how things are here.
**[16:41] Yuma**
What...?
**[16:43] Naosuke**
Yuma, break a leg!
**[16:45] Yuma**
Nao-sama...
**[16:46] Yuma**
A-All right. Here I go!
**[16:51] Ruka**
Our first guest of the
evening is this gentleman!
**[16:55] Yuma**
I'm Yuma Shirase.
**[16:57] Yuma**
I'm here today to meet my grandfather.
**[17:01] Ruka**
Yuma-kun here is the long-lost
grandson of Ro Hakuba,
**[17:04] Ruka**
the head of the one and only
White Horse Merchandise!
**[17:08] Ruka**
After years apart,
they'll finally be reunited!
**[17:11] Ruka**
But first, allow me to
introduce a surprise guest!
**[17:15] Shumei**
Huh? What?
**[17:17] Ruka**
Hello there, Yuma-kun's uncle!
**[17:20] Ruka**
How does it feel to see your
long-lost nephew again?
**[17:23] Yuma**
You are my uncle, aren't you?
**[17:27] Shumei**
Oh! Yes, I am!
**[17:29] Shumei**
I wanted to see you, my darling nephew!
**[17:32] Audience member**
What corny acting!
**[17:34] Audience member**
Get off the stage, stooge!
**[17:35] Shumei**
Why, how dare you?!
**[17:38] Yuma**
I wanted to see you again too.
**[17:42] Yuma**
Please tell me this.
**[17:43] Yuma**
Are you truly the one who has,
time and again, tried to take my life?
**[17:48] Shumei**
Wh-What? That's ridiculous!
**[17:50] Shumei**
Wh-Where's your proof? Show me the proof!
**[17:56] Haruto**
Here's the proof you ordered!
**[18:00] Shumei**
Th-They can't have... Oh no!
**[18:03] Yuma**
How could you?
**[18:06] Shumei**
Shut up, shut up!
**[18:08] Shumei**
Everyone's always making a mockery of me!
**[18:11] Shumei**
"Your brother is better!"
"Be more like your brother!"
**[18:13] Shumei**
I was always compared to him!
**[18:16] Shumei**
And then one day he ran off with
some floozy of a traveling actress!
**[18:20] Shumei**
The world should have been my oyster,
**[18:23] Shumei**
but Father kept going on
about "Shuei this, Shuei that!"
**[18:26] Shumei**
This was supposed to be *my* time!
**[18:28] Yuma**
You poor, pathetic man.
**[18:31] Yuma**
You were blessed with so much in life,
but instead of being grateful,
**[18:35] Yuma**
instead of being the best person you can,
**[18:38] Yuma**
you do nothing but whine like a child,
"Give me this! Give me that!"
**[18:42] Shumei**
Why, you dirty little brat!
**[18:44] Ro**
Imbecile!
**[18:46] Shumei**
F-Father?!
**[18:48] Ro**
What have you gone and done?
**[18:51] Shumei**
N-No, wait! I haven't done anything.
**[18:53] Shumei**
I was set up!
**[18:55] Ro**
It's too late for that. You're a disgrace!
**[19:06] Yuma**
Are you... my grandfather?
**[19:09] Ro**
And you must be Yuma.
You look just like your father, Shuei.
**[19:13] Ro**
I'm relieved that you survived.
**[19:16] Ro**
Yuma, I can't apologize enough about Shumei.
**[19:20] Ro**
Please forgive me.
**[19:21] Yuma**
Please! You don't need to bow to me!
**[19:24] Ro**
It's partly my fault that
he turned out this way.
**[19:28] Ro**
Back then, if I had allowed your
father and mother to marry,
**[19:34] Ro**
this probably never would
have happened to you.
**[19:38] Yuma**
Grandfather, I have never
been unfortunate in life.
**[19:43] Yuma**
My father, mother, and the actors
in the troupe were all kind to me.
**[19:47] Yuma**
I did lose everything once,
**[19:50] Yuma**
but thanks to that, I met Nao-sama and
the wonderful people of the Oyama clan.
**[19:54] Naosuke**
It's true! Yuma's like a brother to me.
**[19:57] Naosuke**
My parents even treat him like a son.
**[19:59] Ro**
Oh, how can I ever thank you and
the Oyama family enough, young man?
**[20:04] Naosuke**
You needn't! Yuma has
always been a great help.
**[20:08] Naosuke**
Truly, he's a brother and best friend to me.
**[20:10] Ro**
Is that right?
**[20:12] Ro**
However, as his grandfather, I wish
he would let me look after him too.
**[20:17] Ro**
I want to make up for everything
I couldn't do for him in the past.
**[20:22] Yuma**
Actually, about that...
**[20:24] Yuma**
Um, am I really supposed to
become the head of the family?
**[20:28] Ro**
What?
**[20:29] Yuma**
I'm still very inexperienced.
**[20:32] Yuma**
I know nothing about the world.
**[20:34] Yuma**
I don't even know what I want to do in life.
**[20:38] Yuma**
That's why, well...
**[20:41] Yuma**
In order to broaden my horizons,
I want to travel the continent.
**[20:44] Yuma**
Together. With Nao.
**[20:48] Yuma**
And during my travels,
I'll think carefully about my future.
**[20:54] Ro**
Very well. Yes.
**[20:56] Ro**
It is good to broaden one's horizons.
**[20:59] Yuma**
But I will return someday, Grandfather.
**[21:09] Naosuke**
Okay, let's go on a journey!
**[21:12] Yuma**
Botan sure was an interesting country.
**[21:15] Yuma**
I'm even more excited to see
the rest of the world now.
**[21:18] Yuma**
But I never thought you
guys would be joining us.
**[21:22] Takaaki**
Well, I wanted to show
Ouka-chan the outside world.
**[21:25] Ouka**
You just wanted to skip work.
**[21:28] Ouka**
It was perfect timing, so I went ahead
**[21:30] Ouka**
and accepted a diplomatic job for you.
**[21:32] Takaaki**
Huh?! Ouka-san, why do you
have to be so darn virtuous?
**[21:37] Issa**
Tough luck! Gotta work, work, work.
**[21:39] Issa**
But Takaaki, this time we get
good food and lodging, right?
**[21:45] Futaba**
I kind of doubt that.
**[21:46] Issa**
Huh? Again, seriously?
**[21:48] Issa**
I'm so sick of camping.
**[21:50] Naosuke**
All right, where should we go first?
**[21:53] Yuma**
I'll go anywhere,
as long as it's with you, Nao!
**[22:08] [SONG] ---**
The raindrops, tap-tapping on an umbrella,
**[22:12] [SONG] ---**
I hear them fading away
**[22:15] [SONG] ---**
The days don't mean much to me anymore
**[22:23] [SONG] ---**
Around the next corner I can't hear or see,
**[22:27] [SONG] ---**
even though I try to follow
**[22:31] [SONG] ---**
The way is always dark without you,
**[22:33] [SONG] ---**
like day is gone
**[22:37] [SONG] ---**
But when you're there, reaching out,
to hold onto me,
**[22:42] [SONG] ---**
I never saw someone so bright
**[22:46] [SONG] ---**
You carry the sun into my life
**[22:52] [SONG] ---**
If you let the sadness catch up,
**[22:56] [SONG] ---**
tears keep chasing you forever
**[23:00] [SONG] ---**
But I will wipe them all away,
wait for a brighter day,
**[23:04] [SONG] ---**
and keep walking with you together
**[23:07] [SONG] ---**
All the hopes you're bearing seed the
**[23:11] [SONG] ---**
gardens blossoming around me
**[23:15] [SONG] ---**
We'll count the brilliant
tomorrows blooming on the way,
**[23:22] [SONG] ---**
every step through life with you
