Lyrics
Click a line to jump near it in the song.
hikari wa itsumo damatte orite kuru
dare mo mite inakute mo
Nothing else arrives like this.
Everything else has to be sent for, argued over, waited on.
Light comes down the street at the same hour
without checking who deserved it,
lands on the blessed and the ruinous at one rate,
asking for nothing at all in return.
Light. (hikari)
It doesn't take sides. (hikari wa itsumo damatte orite kuru)
It doesn't check who's inside.
It just comes down the road and touches everything.
Light. (light)
The most generous thing there is
no invoice has ever followed.
There are hours in this city that are made entirely of it —
gold on wet glass, a stripe across a floor, a room turned amber for eleven minutes,
all of it free, all of it leaving,
and the street below it will not glance up once.
It requires no audience whatsoever.
Which is precisely the argument for being one.
It has explained itself to nobody. (explained to nobody)
It doesn't arrive to teach you anything.
It arrives, and then it goes.
The only thing it asks
is that somebody happens to be looking.
Everything I've ever loved
was something I could see.
I don't know how to separate the two
and I've stopped trying to.
On the water. On your face. (on your face)
On the worst road in the city
at exactly the same rate.
Take it while it's here. (hikari)
It has yet to wait for anyone.
