As the tall mountains disappear over the horizon
I slowly turned my head around to see the Cosmo Canyon
Hitching a ride with a fellow traveller was easy
But rather dangerous for someone of my age back then

The water sloshed around the large wheels
Reminding of me the swaying wooden bridge
Where me and Tifa both nearly lost our lives
Causing me to have an eternal regret

Leaving Nibelheim was not a sudden decision
I knew that one day I had to leave home
Because Nibelheim was too small for adventure
I suppose that is most likely I am a mercenary

I remembered my mama and my missing papa
My mama was waiting for me to return from Midgar
Once I became a first class SOLDIER just like Sephiroth
Just like my great hero who slaughtered merciless men

Leaving Nibelheim was the right decision
Leaving Mama behind was the right decision
Leaving Tifa behind was the right decision
Leaving my past behind was definitely the right decision
