(2) Lyrics Adaptation

Hitotsu no Kotoba (One Word)

English adaptation by Shirley Masuo

~~~~~

A story of a thousand words
You can say in just one word
If you listen to your heart then you will know

In a restless world today
People's spirits worn away
Can it be that we forgot what matters most

So it's up to you and me
To join together now so we
Fill the world with happiness where love can grow

Oh

I love you
I love you
Everybody needs a warm sweet love

~~~~~
