Black Sheep
translation by Alinda Sue

When a person is a black sheep,
Maintaining a prideful life
He does not accept goodwill
Within himself

It wasn’t caused by anyone
But someone was blamed unaware
Wanting to live correctly
Within himself

Oh, but on that day
Suddenly, if he looked at the sky
A flock of migratory birds formed and flew
They turned and continued over the earth

The flock would aim at a far distant island.
They lived only for the sake of living
Justice and evil weren’t there
Life itself was enough

In common sense, please do not be bound
The black sheep was not chosen, however
”Acceptance”
Is only shouted

Everything is concerned
It is not anywhere
Where is it now?
Someone smiled.

A very long time noticing,
For the person who has become conceited
Being without love
Was his own fault

Giving up pride
Wanting to ride with the flow
Wanting to become the life before becoming people
Surely, when is it?
It is when self concern disappears

For everyone
It is the same thing
In being part of building the universe
Freedom can become
The future will change

Freedom can become
The future will change
