I Become the Forest
Lyrics: Tsuchiya Masami
Music: Tsuchiya Masami

Born, and living
This tiny power
With the moon that flows
And the sun that dries
One by one
The nights repeating
Now, I become the forest
Toward a new morning

This tiny life
That lived and slept
With the songs of the insects
And the dreams of the birds
One by one
The nights repeating
We become the forest
Toward a new morning

Forest People
On this planet
Give us back the sky, like the sea
Forest People
On the day this planet
Becomes a forest

When the night turns to dawn
And I awake
And take a breath
I start to want to tell you
That I'm here, that I'm alive
And in the end
We're all enveloped by the same light
We become the forest
Toward a new morning
We become the forest
Toward a new morning

To me, this song is really the heart of the album, and expresses the essence of the concept that Tsuchiya Masami is trying to convey through the album as a whole.
