I can never tell him what happened long ago. The truth about my past is something he should never know.
Misty:
I can never tell him my feelings deep inside. The truth within my heart is something I must always hide.
Delia:
His whole life lies ahead, so much training to be done. And as his mother I'll protect the future for my son.
Misty:
His love is overwhelming, in its light I'd like to be. But he shares it all with Pokémon, there's just no room for me.
Both:
I've got a secret that tears up my soul, and keeping it hidden has taken its toll. I can't tell the truth 'cause he might turn away. So I'll keep this secret, it's better that way.
Ash:
Each end's a new beginning, every darkness has its dawn. Tears can't fall forever so now I must move on. My hopes are still the same for the man I'd like to be, and I will make those dreams come true - just you wait and see!
I've got a secret (There's no turning back,) that tears up my soul, (there's no giving up.) and keeping it hidden (Life still goes on) has taken its toll. (no matter how tough.) I can't tell the truth (I'm gonna miss you) cause he might turn away. (more and more each day) So I'll keep this secret, (but I'll keep on going,) it's better that way.
