Lyrics

haruka sora no hoshi ga hidoku kagayaite mieta kara
boku wa furue nagara sono hikari wo oikaketa

wareta kagami no naka itsuka no jibun wo mitsumeteita
tsuyoku naritakatta nanimo kamo ni akogareteita

kimi wa kaze ni fukarete hirugaeru boushi miage
nagaku mijikai tabi wo yuku
tooi hi no omokage

kimi ga nozomu nara sore wa tsuyoku kotaete kureru no da
ima wa subete ni osoreru na itami wo shiru tada hitori de are

ima ni kareru hana ga saigo ni boku e to katari kaketa
“sugata mienaku tomo haruka saki de mimamoteiru” to

sou da kimi wa uchi hishigarete kezurete yuku kokorone
monogatari no hajimari wa
kasuka na sabishisa

kimi no te ga fureta sore wa hikiau kodoku no chikara nara
dare ga doushite ubaeru mono ka motomeaeru inochi hateru made

kagayaku hoshi wa iu konoha no mukou kara
kimi wa tada mitsumeru mirai wo omoi nagara
bokura wa susumu nanimo shirazu ni kanata no hou e

kimi ga nozomu nara sore wa tsuyoku kotaete kureru no da
ima wa subete ni osoreru na itami wo shiru tada hitori de are

kasuka ni warae ano hoshi no you ni
itami wo shiru tada hitori de are

English Translation

Because the distant star shined so bright
I trembled as I ran after its light

In a cracked mirror, I stared at a reflection of my past self
I wanted to be strong, in awe of everything

You looked up at a hat fluttering in the wind
As you went on a long and short journey
Traces of bygone days

If you so wish, he'll come to your aide with everything he has
For now, fear nothing and be the only one to understand the meaning of pain

A flower about to wilt said its last words to me
“Though you may no longer see me, I'll watch over you from afar”

Yes, you're absolutely shattered, your heart's been worn down
The story begins with
A bit of loneliness

If the touch of your hand is the power of loneliness that brings us together
Who has the right to take that away? We'll keep seeking each other until our lives are lost

From beyond the leaves of the trees, a shining star says
With a level gaze, you think of the future
Unaware, we'll keep travelling towards the beyond

If you so wish, he'll come to your aide with everything he has
For now, fear nothing and be the one to understand the meaning of pain

Show me that slight smile that resembles that star
Be the one to understand the meaning of pain
