Kid’s Festival ~ Innocent Treasures

Some say a dream is fate.
Some say it may forecast
Signs from the ghosts that haunt both our future and our past.
If this is such a dream...
If this is such a dream...
How much of this will last?

"May the dream be changed."
May the dream be changed...
as a red mist gathers over skies so very strange.
Fabricated sights may reveal the key to a deep, ancient door.
Till the world we see, this familiar land,
crumbles down to ashes, like a castle on the sand...
In the light of day, back to how it was before.

Ah, what is a dream?
Is it illusion? Is it temporary?
Now, till break of day...
Thеy are the truth, I am a butterfly.

"May thе dream be changed."
To the moon I pray...
as the bamboo rustles and the leaves begin to sway...
What I see, I know.
Yet I still don't know, what do I see it for?
So the old folktale of a grand unknown
may be held forever, like a tower made of stone.
In the dark of night, shedding light on something more...
Hey...
I thought I may ask for your advice.
Not all of my dreams have been nice.
I was chased by a monster.
Who knows what could have happened?
Merry, this is only a dream.
Nothing is as clear as it would seem.
It can't hurt you, so why not forget about anything bad?
Trust me, and everything will be alright.
Sleep well...

So... "May the dream be changed."
May the nightmare change into a dream!

Some say a dream is fake...
useless to understand...
purely imaginated scenes from a phantasmatic land.
Transient as the rain...
But how can I explain
proof that is in my hand?

I can only say, "May the dream be changed."
May your fears be settled, and your vision rearranged.
If you say it's real, maybe someday then we can go...
Take me there!
May the dream be changed, may the dream be sweet!
Full of more pure magic, and more tasty food to eat.
If it's your bright mind, surely there's enough to share.
In that mind is a shinning light,
by which flowers blossom, and the spirits take their flight.
Caught between two worlds,
such as spirits waver and soon may be torn.
In the human mind is the greatest hope,
which can see what's possible and multiplies the scope.
From a single mind, there a hundred more are born.

Ah, what is a dream?
Is it illusion? Is it temporary?
Now, till break of day...
We can be free, free like a butterfly.

May the dream be changed, by the rising dawn.
May the children play, and may the festival go on.
With their smiles that shine,
I don't want this beautiful dream yet to end.
When the world feels wrong, When the world feels wrong...
I can turn toward this one that's been with me all along.
In my heart, I feel something more than just pretend.

Hey...
Maybe I should think about it twice.
Even if my dream may be nice...
What if, one day, I go in... and don't come back?
Merry this is only a --
Wait. That's not the answer.
You're not wrong, but you're not right.
Dreams and reality are different.
That's why we can make dreams into reality, with great effort.
Wake up!
So "May the dream be changed."
May the dream be changed into the truth!

Some say a dream is fate.
Some say it may forecast
Signs from the ghosts that haunt both our future and our past.
If we can chase our dream...
As we create this dream...
Help me make it last.
