Lyrics

sekai wa ima kirameku yo
watashi ga sou kimeta kara
egao ni hikari wo mou ichido uraraka ni
dareka no inochi janakute
watashi wo odori tsuzukeru hora ne
tokimeki no hibi wa zutto owaranai

kagami no naka ni utsuru omoitsumeta hitomi ni
unazuite nando mo yowasa wo kazoeta yo
tatakau koto no imi wa nando datte kawaru no
sunao de aru koto kowagara nai de

akirameta “mono” bakari
demo sore ga asu wo yobun da
zenbu ga kiseki da to waraeru kara

sekai ni ima hohoemu yo
watashi ga tanoshimu tame ni
kuchibiru ni yume wo mou ichido azayaka ni
utsukushisa ni aserazu ni
itooshii toki wo tsunageru dakara
tokimeku chikara wa zutto kienai yo

teritsukeru youkou mo awa no you na kage wo umu
yasashiku narenai jibun wo semeteita

naku koto wa muzukashii
iradachi ni maketakunai na
zenbu ga watashi da to yurushitakute

dareka wo omou mitai ni
jibun wo aishite mitai
chiisana puraido sarigenaku dakishimete
uruou kokoro no naka de
kibou wo mitsukeraretara itsuka
tokimeku hito e to sotto tsutaeru yo

sekai wo aisenakute mo
kokoro ga waruin janai
namida wa kanarazu atarashii yume ni naru
watashi wa watashi no tame ni
watashi wo shinjite agetai hora ne
tokimeki no hibi wa kore kara da yo

sekai wa ima kirameku yo
watashi ga sou kimeta kara
egao ni hikari wo mou ichido uraraka ni
dareka no inochi janakute
watashi wo odori tsuzukeru hora ne
tokimeki no hibi wa zutto owaranai

English Translation

The world will spark now
I said so
Light up my smile again, gloriously
Not someone else’s life
I’m gonna dance and express myself, see
The days of excitement will never end

Intense eyes in the mirror
I nodded many times and counted my weaknesses
The meaning to fight, changes all the time
Don’t be scared to be honest

So many ‘things’ that I gave up
But that’s what makes tomorrow
I can smile, everything is a miracle

I smile to the world now
So I can enjoy all
Dreams to my lips again, vividly
I won’t be rushed by beauty
I’ll connect the cherished moments, so
The throbbing power won’t fade away

The blazing sunray make bubble-like shadows
I was accusing myself for being unkind

It’s hard to cry
I don’t want to lose to frustration
I want to forgive myself, everything is me

Like loving someone else
I want to love myself
Holding onto my small pride, casually
In my enriched heart
If I can find some hope, then someday
I will softly tell, to the person I admire

If I can’t love the world
It’s not because of the heart
The tears will become a new dream
For me
I will believe myself, see
The days of excitement will start from here

The world will spark now
I said so
Light up my smile again, gloriously
Not someone else’s life
I’m gonna dance and express myself, see
The days of excitement will never end
