[English Translation]

Right now, I am standing in the middle of the world,
just a tiny, ordinary fragment,
one grain among countless grains of sand.
Sometimes I’m swept far away by waves,
sometimes I’m pushed somewhere unknown by the wind.
Under someone’s footsteps,
I felt myself grow even smaller.
Everyone else looked like unbreakable stone,
and I felt like I was the only one who might crumble.

But the moment sunlight touched me,
a quiet light bloomed within.
A pattern only I had, unknown to anyone,
slowly revealed itself beneath the sun.
Only then did I realize—I can shine too.
That even I, small as I am, carry my own color.
And you do too. We all do—
each of us holding a light of our own.

My voice was swallowed by the wind,
my small movements unnoticed,
but even on those days,
somewhere out there, someone must have been like me.
And when we finally met,
our loneliness began to melt away,
and tiny grains of sand gathered
into the most dazzling landscape.

Under the sunlight, we all carry a glow.
Don’t forget your own small light—
even if you haven’t seen it yet,
one day you’ll meet the sunlight.
Little sparks gathered together
become a great hope,
and together—not alone—
we shine in the same direction.

Even when you’re tired and want to stop,
I hope you never lose your light.
There will be someone who recognizes it,
and a day will come when you walk together.

We are all small, but precious—
beings capable of lighting the world.
And when those little sparks come together,
they become the warmest light of all.
