【Touhou Lyrics】 Faith is for the Transient People

  / lyricalive  

Sanae's theme. ...The vibe I get from this miracle girl is a bright-eyed and positive one. Being simultaneously on the side of the humans and the side of the gods, she offers a pure perspective on what it means to have faith and why it's so important.

One wondrous night…
Would it be crazy if I said
The stars lined up just right,
Framing the brightest over my head?
Some other instead
Stands in its special place today.
Was that moment good luck, though any other odds were the same?

Say, do you believe in miracles?
I’ll tell you they happen every day.
Open your mind… One leap of faith will take you all of the way!

Faith is transient.
All prayers heavensent
Take whole hearts to make, and just one breath to voice.
As we ponder what we’re worth,
Guests on this marvel of an earth…
No day lasts forever – that makes each day shine!

Ah, what could there be
Waiting upon the other side?
Beyond that stormy sea,
If you could only break up the tide?
Why haven’t you tried?
Claiming impossibility...
Without asking for help, everyone else is thinking the same.

We are what we’ve been raised up to be,
And surely we raise up what we are.
If that’s the case… how is it that we’ve all come so very far?

Pure chance, and strong will,
Keeps us from standing still.
These small quirks of fate make ripples grow for years.
If with just one simple touch,
I might change so much,
If I start today – then that makes this day mine!

My world left behind:
A mystery in your mind.
Your world every day: a miracle to me.
Saints we idolize…
Where do you think their power lies?
In our hopeful eyes – and that’s what makes us shine!
