You are looking at happily innocent children's smiles. I'm feeling a peaceful dream by the quiet smile of yours. These moments let us heal even hasty people's hearts. We engrave this precious time and face real life.
Even if we’re forced to cram a lifestyle in this country, we're still looking for today, and we will never end. Even if we’re walking with each yesterday and pain, we are still looking for today, and we will never end.
Like a brightness with the good old days, like the sunlight wishing you a good today, I hope everything will go on forever. Like the cloudless, pure children's smiles, like a grown-up paving the way for all kids, I hope everything will go on forever. With a smile.
You are sitting on the bench under the holy sky. I'm feeling the welcome breeze with both my eyes closed.
Even if our time has passed to dream of huge ideals, we cannot stop the overflowing beats of heart and soul. Even if we’re forced to grow up and kiss off pure longing, we cannot stop the overflowing children’s million dreams.
Like a brightness with the good old days, like the sunlight wishing you a good today, I hope everything will go on forever. Like the cloudless pure children's smiles, like a grown-up paving the way for all kids, I hope everything will go on forever. With a smile.

THEME OF THIS SONG
I wrote this song with appreciation for Mrs. Anastasia who is the owner of 'Greek Import Jewelry Anastasia'. My ex-job was the owner of a Greek jewelry online shop introducing Greek information on the website. During my career, she supported me a lot as a business partner and as a friend. I sang to pray for the future of her grandchildren, children all over the world and relief of adults.
