Hachiko's Song (Waiting for Someone)

There once was a man
So an old story goes
Went to the station
Every day rain or snow
His faithful dog
Would walk right by his side
Sit there and wait
Til he came home at night
And when the man died
The dog still would go
To the station each day
Why, no one knows
He was waiting for someone he loved
Waiting for someone he loved
Someone he believed in
Someone he could trust
Day after day
Waiting for someone he loved
Days turned to weeks
And months turned to years
Trains came and went
But the dog still appeared
Hoping to see that face he adored
His old true companion
The one he lived for
And then came the night
When the dog finally died
Now I know he’s there walking
By his masters side
He’s been waiting for someone he loved
Waiting for someone he loved
Someone he believed in
Someone he could trust
Don’t you think humans
Could learn from that dog
Now I don’t know about all of you
But I wish that my heart was so true
To think he could miss him that much
He spent all his life
Waiting for someone he loved
Waiting for someone he loved
