Mune no oku de furueteru  hikari to kage wo dakishimeta mama
Still embracing light and darkness trembling deep inside the heart
Sutekirenai yume wo oikakete  hokori takaku ai wa yomigaeru
Love revives full of pride, chasing after the dream that can't be
thrown away


Yuuyake no iro ga  setsunaku  kireide
The colors of the sunset are sorrowful and beautiful
Tozashiteita kokoro no umi ni  koboreta namida
A tear fell into the sea inside the heart that has been kept shut

Kagayaki wa nidoto modoranai  ashita fuku kaze no youna  jiyuu ga hoshii
The brightness will never return -- I want freedom like the winds
that will blow tomorrow


Mune no oku de furueteru  hikari to kage wo dakishimeta mama
Still embracing light and darkness trembling deep inside the heart
Sutekirenai yume wo oikakete  itsuka mitsuketai
Chasing after the dream that can't be thrown away, I want to find
  someday

Hateshinaku  hirogaru mirai wo
A future that stretches endlessly

Tatakau mainichi  Surechigau Hello, Good-by
Days full of battles, brushing "hello" and "good-by" past each other
Kizitsukenai youni  aruiteyuketara iinoni
It would be great to walk so you don't get hurt

Sora ni hourinageta kibouga  ameagari  nanairo no niji wo egaite
The hope thrown into the sky creates a rainbow of seven colors
after the rain


Mune no oku de furueteru  ai ga kowaresou ni naru tokimo
Even when the love trembling deep inside the heart is about to break
Inoru kimochi wo wasurenaide  itsumo todoketai
Don't forget the feeling of prayer -- I always want to deliver you
Shinjiteru  mienai mirai wo
An invisible future that you believe in

Kimi ga oshiete kureta  sono hakanasamo  sono tsuyosamo
The transience and the strength that you taught me

Mune no oku de furueteru  kanashimi wo koete shimaitai
I want to get over the sorrow trembling deep inside the heart
Yowai kokoro ni makenai youni  ai wo mamoritai
I want to protect love so it won't lose against the weak heart

Mune no oku de furueteru  hikari to kage wo dakishimeta mama
Still embracing light and darkness trembling deep inside the heart
Sutekirenai yume wo oikakete  hokori takaku ai wa yomigaeru
Love revives full of pride, chasing after the dream that can't be
thrown away

Kagayaku mirai ni
Towards a bright future
