Analysis of Honō no yō ni akarui : “Bright as a Flame”



Run little orange one           
Run with the wind
Past the hills
Into the forest
Where all is calm and free

Run little orange one
Away from all that’s left
Take what you need
All to keep alive
And never stay behind

Run little orange one
With shining autumn fur
Yet be warned they say
As if you aren’t careful and tame
Your tail may set this forest aflame
