Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart

I want to protect you from everything
that hurts you, and to stand by you.

I have nothing special, and I am no-one
Can I become the place for you

Holding you, all through the night
I want to know the real you

Holding you, ever so gently
Please take a look at the real me
Holding you, tonight

I will chase away everything
that causes you pain, and kick them aside

Things that make you laugh, I can think of straight away
Things that you like, I can remember right away

Holding you, all through the night
I want to hear your true voice

Holding you, ever so gently
Please show me your real dreams
Holding you, tonight

Even if this world is filled
With deceit and hatred
This tiny warmth I’m looking at
is the real thing

Holding you, all through the night
I want to know the real you

Holding you, ever so gently
I want to know our true tomorrow
Holding you, tonight

Masha said in his radio programme that the guitar and singing were recorded in one go for this song, very much like the way he sings live on Tamashii no Radio Live Request. Usually he would record the instrumentals first, then fill in his voice, but not this time.
