Lyrics

te ni shitai hikari ga aru kimi wa ima yorube mo naku hitori de kiro ni tatsu

shinon ga furueru hougaku e okusezu arukidese

English Translation

There is a light you so now you stand alone at a crossroads with nowhere to go
Making sure there's no going back, now you stifle a fleeting sense of anxiety as you cut off all ways to go back home

It was a light so hard to let go, it was a gentle, easy love
And yet, you'll still go, won't you?
It doesn't matter if some things are left lacking, we can start looking for them right now

I don't need to be strong, it doesn't matter if you have nothing, just as long as you believe
That will be the one thing that saves you, no matter what kind of pain awaits you in the future
So go forward without hesitation

I cut the life without any symbols into the moment of "today",
and breathing into a step
I torment myself with an ideal and everyday that turns quietly exposing ugliness

Close your eyes, listen to your heart
I'm still singing the wish I stared at under the moon
I don't have to be worried if my legs are trembling
I don't want to run away even if I lost my way

The future you chose sews the night no one knows and drifts in the sea for you
After I knew I couldn't get anything without any pains, I grasped my breath
Even though I still don't reach tomorrow

It began to point beyond the torn map, the center of the ocean
There's no correct answer I know that, but my heart hurts
Hey, you want a lot? It's not like that
But the ship goes on beyond the new door
just to protect what I don't want to lose

I don't need to be strong, it doesn't matter if you have nothing, just as long as you believe
That will be the one thing that saves you, no matter what kind of pain awaits you in the future
Go forward to the direction your heart indicates without hesitation
