English translation

 * When you close your eyes just so,
 * There's a world you can see--
 * The infinitely expanding universe
 * Within your heart.


 * Life glitters
 * And continues to be handed down.
 * Everything is one--
 * I can sense that now.


 * I can hear the beat--
 * This beautiful planet!
 * Shine on forever!
 * Gaia, oh, Gaia...


 * Filling up... with blue...
 * Just as water flows,
 * Let your heart go;
 * In the light and the wind,


 * Singing voices dissolve.
 * Stop your thieving and
 * Leave your fears behind.
 * The truth of life


 * Will surely come to you
 * When I pray in my heart
 * For your smiling face,
 * It's a wave of joy--
 * Gaia, oh, Gaia...
 * Filling up... with love...
