Being alive
Being alive, now
That is being thirsty
That is the glare of the sunlight
That is the sudden remembrance of a melody
That is sneezing
That is holding hands with you
Being alive
Being alive, now
That is a miniskirt
That is a planetarium
That is Johann Strauss
It is Picasso
It is the Alps
That is meeting everything beautiful
and
carefully shaking off the evil hidden away in it.
Being alive
Being alive, now
That is being able to cry
That is being able to laugh
That is being able to be angry
That is freedom
Being alive
Being alive, now
That is somewhere out there a dog is barking now
That is the earth is spinning now
That is somewhere out there is someone's first cries
That is somewhere out there a soldier is in pain now
That is somewhere out there empty swings sway back and forth now
And now, now is gone
Being alive
Being alive, now
That is a bird fluttering its wings
That is the waves drifting in and out
That is the snail crawling on the ground
That is people loving one another
The warmth of your hand
That is giving me life

すごいですね！私には難解なパズルを解き明かすようなものだったのですが、すらすらとお読みくださり意味まで教えていただき、大変参考になりました。おっしゃる通り詩ではないのかもしれませんが、この文の言わんとするところはよくわかりました。早速お教えいただき、ありがとうございました！
