Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

I think I like the lyrics to this song. Japanese song lyrics are so much better than english ones (show me a song that has better lyrics than these). It is like singing a poem, one crafted in the depths of a creative heart.

Ano Hi Taimu Mashin
Time Machine to That Day

Start to run, facing front.
I drew with numb fingers in the sky,
Lighting the blessings in your future.
Cut through, with those hands.
Can you hear this voice?
Embrace the ability to laugh honestly.
Now, start to run. 

Even if only a little, my fingertips are dyed an adult color.
As if embarrassed, I softly hide them. 
With your chin in your hands, in front of your field of vision,
A small flower bud was slowly swaying.

Hey, for me, who always hesitates,
Even now, I think of those words you sent me.

Start to run, facing front.
I drew with numb fingers in the sky,
Lighting the blessings in your future.
Cut through, with those hands.
Can you hear this voice?
Embrace the ability to laugh honestly.
Now, start to run. 

Even though I am reluctant to think of how good the past was,
There are still feelings I want to recover.
My eyes fill with the me who pushes me from behind,
a vision piled on top of sprouting flower buds. 

I will triumph over time, and someday again,
I want to be able to boast of that day long gone,
I will even carry a clock that runs backwards.  
Cut through, with those hands.
Are you laughing? It's just like me,
To hold tightly to these feelings I can't let go.
Now, start to run. 

Hey, for me, who always hesitates,
Even now, I think of those words you sent me.
Dye the future your color.

Start to run, facing front.
I drew with numb fingers in the sky,
Lighting the blessings in your future.
Cut through, with those hands.
Can you hear this voice?
Embrace the ability to laugh honestly.
Now, start to run. 

I will triumph over time, and someday again,
I want to be able to boast of that day long gone,
I will even carry a clock that runs backwards.  
Cut through, with those hands.
Are you laughing? It's just like me,
To hold tightly to these feelings I can't let go.
Now, start to run.
