Shinto Prayer

If you do exist 
You won’t bless me?
My effort never paid off
Causing me pain
Standing in this shadow
Will the day come? 
When I can fly in the sky?
Will the day come? 
When I can touch the sun?
Tell me!

If you are hiding somewhere
Why don't you smile at me?
I've never tasted victory
Never succeeded in love
Will the day come? 
When I can taste victory?
Will the day come? 
When I can embrace love?
Tell me!

Having nothing precious
Desolated, isolated
Living my life 
A series of failures
Will the day come 
When I will be satisfied?
Will the day come? 
When my dreams come true?

Shine a light on my life
Shine a light on my future
Shine a light on every thing
Shine a light on tomorrow

If you are hiding somewhere
Why don't you smile at me?
I've never tasted victory
Never succeeded in love

Shine a light on my life
Shine a light on my future
Shine a light on every thing
Shine a light on tomorrow
