Lyrics:
元気出して/ Genki Dashite/ [Keep Your Head Up]

元気出してx2
That's cheer up/
As my colleague'd kindly say/
Keep your head up/
As my mother said wiping my face/
Before I went out to play/

元気出して/
Are words I was blessed with/
When I was maudlin again/
Dwelling verbally on my mistakes/
But that sudden display/
In the school hallway staircase/
Of sympathy was an EpiPen/
To my mental allergen state/

Highs & lows-
The natural flow/
Of a life full-
Of joy & strife/
When you're alone-
It's all fading lights/
Close bonds-
& bitter divides/
Playing nice-
& strict competition/

Those just come priced-
with the fare/
Good times
Bad times/
You know I've had my share/

It's like the parlor adage-
There's no 陽 without 陰/
Without 陰陽/
We'd never know-
when to feel elation/

Relative privation-
Is no fallacy here/
It's all in the mind-
When we combine/

Experience
& the sublime/

[Compassion, kindness, & joy/
Those are what we all seek/
But life can lead contrary-
To this dream/]

元気出してx2
That's cheer up/
As my colleague'd kindly say/
Keep your head up/
As my mother said wiping my face/
Before I went out to play/

Compassion, kindness, & joy-
Those are what we all seek/
But life can lead contrary-
To this dream/

Or so it seems/
We all have the capacity-
For 無心/
That's living effortlessly/
Without seeking-
just being/
Present with equanimity/
Balancing the rough stream/
Of conscious & unconscious/
regrets & worries/
Don't rush, don't hurry/
Manage your stress/
& the rest will be blessed/

元気出してx2
That's cheer up/
As my colleague'd kindly say/
Keep your head up/
As my mother said wiping my face/
Before I went out to play/
