{Title:} Ranma 1/2: Rebirth

Episode 1: Tenchakai Boudaikai!?

{Song:} Don't make fun of it!
Don't destroy it!
Don't cheapen it!
That one thing everyone has,
that they won't give up.
Only love!
Only dreams!
Only you!
Those are the only things,
I won't let go, ever.

On nights when,
I can't settle down,
no matter what,
I just want to throw anything
and everything away.
Don't cry and complain,
just open the door, ya know.
I don't have time to quibble with you.

I want to fly all over the place.
I wanna throw caution to the wind.
It isn't because,
I've lost anything
It's because nothing's,
even started yet.
Don't make fun of it!
Don't destroy it!
Don't cheapen it!
That one thing everyone has,
that they won't give up.
Only love!
Only dreams!
Only you!
Those are the only things,
I won't let go, ever.
What do you want?
What do you wanna do?
Where do you wanna go?
Cut through the darkness
and run to grab what you want,
(all) through the night!
