To My Homeland

This song is what we could call the successor to Let's Seek Happiness, since it's sung in Metafalss when a children comes of age. Basically, it serves as a much severe reminder of the lessons that they were taught back when they were very young. This also serves them to reaffirm themselves, since they sing it whenever anything bad happens in Metafalss to gather their courage.

That was precisely the usage that Cocona gave to it, since she sang it to calm herself from the fear and despair she was feeling at the moment from the situation around her: she was trapped together with Sasha and Shukure, surrounded by an Antibody group, and Sasha had collapsed from severe exhaustion. Cocona knows this song because Croix taught it to her.

Lyrics
胸の深くに眠れる輝きの小鳥よ 雨の日も風の日も休まず 飛び続ける　遠くへ mune no fukaku ni nemureru kagayaki no kotori yo ame no hi mo kaze no hi mo yasumazu tobitsudzukeru tooku e Oh, shining bird that sleeps on the depths of my heart. Unrestingly, even during the rainy or windy days, you continue flying onwards to the distance.

ある日裏切られようと 肩を落とさないで たとえ病に倒れ伏そうと 瞳を覆わないで おおきな翼　広げてゆこう aru hi uragirareyou to kata wo otosanaide tatoe yamai ni taorefusou to hitomi wo oowanaide ookina tsubasa hirogeteyukou If you are ever betrayed, don't drop down in defeat, and even if you collapse from a sickness, don't cover your eyes, and spread open your great wings.

いつか夢やぶれるようと 涙流さないで やがて世界が終り逝こうと 決して諦めないで 希望の地へ　羽ばたいてゆこう itsuka yume yabureru you to namida nagasanaide yagate sekai ga owariyukou to keshite akiramenaide kibou no chi e habataiteyukou Even if your dream was to be destroyed someday, don't cry, and even if the world was to end soon, never give up, and continue flapping your wings, until you reach the land of hope.

胸の深くに眠れる輝きの小鳥よ もしも迷い　悩める時には あの窓想い出して mune no fukaku ni nemureru kagayaki no kotori yo moshi mo mayoi nayameru toki ni wa ano mado omoidashite Oh, shining bird that sleeps on the depths of my heart. If you ever are lost and worried, remember that window.

ああ、ただひとつの、故郷よー aa, tada hitotsu no kokyou yo Ah, my only and single hometown...

=Feelings Contained in This Song=

I broke up with a precious friend, and then you said: "It's all right. You are "courageous" and "honest", no matter what may happen." With these words in my heart, I could go on living to the next day.

I couldn't produce any crops, becoming unable to have any food, and then you said: "It's all right. You still have "friends", no matter what may happen." With these words in my heart, I could go on living to the next day.

I had to stay in bed due to an illness, and then you said: "It's all right. You still have a "family", no matter what may happen." With these words in my heart, I could go on living to the next day.

Everyone burned off my fields and house, and then you said: "It's all right. You still have "energy" and "strength", no matter what may happen." With these words in my heart, I could go on living to the next day.

The end of the world had come, and then you said: "It's all right. We still have our overflowing "love", no matter what may happen." With these words in my heart, I could go on living to the next day.

These are our wonderful sleeping resources. That is why everything will be all right, no matter what may happen.
