Step in Time

He loved this song so much, that he even learned it in Japanese when his native language is English, and he sang along with the chorus. A reprisal and response, if you will- not the original song.

You said you hate to walk

Tell me how you're going to catch up

I can't turn around and go back for you

If you run, maybe you can

 

But if you run

When you get to me you'll be tired

and need to stop completely

because you saved no breath and

We'll have nothing to talk about and

I can't stop walking

 

I began to walk before you were able

It's not fair to ask you to catch up

It's not fair to ask me to stop

Don't curse antiquity for mistiming our steps

 

I can slow down my pace.

If you can bear walking and promise me not to run

Eventually we'll walk side by side.
