SHE SMILED
LEAPT WITHOUT LOOKING
AND TUMBLED INTO THE SEINE
THE WATER WAS FREEZING
SHE SPENT A MONTH SNEEZING
BUT SAID SHE WOULD DO IT AGAIN
HERE'S TO THE ONES WHO DREAM
FOOLISH AS THEY MAY SEEM
HERE'S TO THE HEARTS THAT ACHE
HERE'S TO THE MESS WE MAKE
SHE CAPTURED A FEELING
SKY WITH NO CEILING
THE SUNSET INSIDE A FRAME
SHE LILED IN HER LIQUOR
AND DIED WITH A FLICKER
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FLAME
HERE'S TO THE ONES WHO DREAM
FOOLISH AS THEY MAY SEEM
HERE'S TO THE HEARTS THAT ACHE
HERE'S TO THE MESS WE MAKE
SHE TOLD ME :
"A BIT OF MADNESS IS KEY
TO GIVE US NEW COLORS TO SEE
WHO KNOWS WHERE IT WILL LEAD US?
AND THAT'S WHY THEY NEED US"
SO BRING ON THE REBELS
THE RIPPLES FROM PEBBLES
THE PAINTERS AND POETS AND PLAYS
AND HERE'S TO THE FOOLS WHO DREAM
CRAZY AS THEY MAY SEEM
HERE'S TO THE HEARTS THAT BREAK
HERE'S TO THE MESS WE MAKE
I TRACE IT ALL BACK TO THEN
HER AND THE SNOW AND THE SEINE
SMILING THROUGH IT
SHE SAID SHE'D DO IT AGAIN

夢を追う人々の無謀さと、その背中合わせにある輝きを讃える真っ直ぐな情熱が伝わってきました。周囲からは愚かに見えても、凍える川に飛び込むような衝動を信じ続ける意志の強さが眩しいです。人生を彩るためには少しの狂気が必要だという教えが、挑戦を恐れる心に火を灯してくれました。夢破れた痛みや混沌とした感情さえも、美しい夕焼けのように一つの作品として肯定する温かい眼差しに、深い感動を覚えました。
