Shounen [English Version]

After all I've been through

I'm still here to stay

Time goes by

Time goes by

Don't you know that I've been doing this

Without even turning back

I'm making my way, breaking away from the crowd

And these streets are still the same

And I feel a little suffocated

Anywhere I look, anywhere I go

Everything seems crazy

I let go of my youth so that I could

Chase the dreams that I dreamed as a young boy

Holding onto every chance I got

Now it's been ten years since back then

With all my dreams and hopes I had

I held my head up high and never looked down

If I could somehow get a chance to

See the boy that I used to be

I'd tell him not to cry

That he'd never lose his way again

That he'd get to the place where he'd longed to be

It don't matter near or far

If you don't give in, you'll make it there

After all I've been through

I'm still here to stay

Time goes by

And I will never stop

And it killed me to know that I had

Nothing to be proud of

But I didn't stop, no I never stopped what I started

As the days got much tougher and harder

The nights got much longer and colder

I would sing a song of tomorrow

When I had to hide my sorrow

Just keep the faith when you feel helpless

Just follow your own path, things aren't so hopeless

If I could somehow get a chance to

See the boy that I used to be

I'd tell him not to cry

That he'd never lose his way again

So you meet someone and then you say goodbye

That's what life's about

In the midst of it all, you take another step

Don't forget (don't forget to be there)

As the new era begins, the world will change no matter what

That's the way the world's supposed to be

Every time I try to look back on the past

Oh how I miss the good old days

If he could see me now

The boy that I used to be

What would he think of me

What would he say about my life

If I could somehow get a chance to

See the boy that I used to be

I'd tell him not to cry

That he'd never lose his way again

That he'd get to the place where he'd longed to be

It don't matter near or far

If you don't give in, you'll make it there

After all I've been through

I'm still here to stay

Time goes by

Time goes by

After all I've been through

I'm still here to stay

Times goes by

And I will never stop
