Footprints of freedom

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

When you went on your journey
you didn’t leave a note
because I’d understand anyways
Before the sunrise
you stole away
the sun that should have risen

You returned to the place you
knew before birth
without saying goodbye
promising we’d met again one day

I am waiting
on the other side of eternity
One day I will follow
the footprints you left behind

When you let go of me
you walked in freedom
one step at a time
Isn’t there anything you feared,
or regretted?

I understand
but I long for you
but I know it’s useless
The tears won’t stop
and my thoughts cross over the rainbow

On this earth we seperated
and went on without each other
and yet your footprints
remain right here

You ride away in
the midnight train

I am waiting
on the other side of eternity
One day I will follow
the footprints of freedom

On this earth we seperated
and went on without each other
and yet the footprints of freedom
remain right here
remain right here
