Japanese

キズついた時
あの泪もそっと 薄れていった
振り返ったらいつでも自分の居場所があったからかな?

歩いてゆこう
手を握ってそう
いつもそうだった 何があっても信じてた
まっすぐに 見つめてた
遠い場所を･･･

どんな時でも
必死になって
わからなくて
悩んで･･･

どれも大切なキオク･･･だ ・ か ・ ら

かけがえのない そんな日々を･･･
きっと忘れない
それぞれの未来 歩むとしても

歩いてゆこう
未来見つけよう
今から新しいスタート切って信じよう
まっすぐに いつかの遠い未来まで･･･

忘れないで･･･

Long Version

Japanese

キズついた時 あの泪もそっと 薄れていった 振り返ったらいつでも自分の居場所があったからかな? 歩いてゆこう 手を握ってそう いつもそうだった 何があっても信じてた まっすぐに 見つめてた 遠い場所を･･･ 互いに思い合う心があって そして『信頼』を持った 知らず知らずに 助けられてた 深い絆だったから 何故か不思議なほど 隠れてゆくの 辛かった記憶だけ 目に映るのは 素直になれた 心から笑えた記憶 勇気持とう 手を差し出そう! いつもそう在りたい これらずっと 信じたい まっすぐに 見つめてる あの場所まで･･･ 何があっても 諦めなくて 肩よせ合って ひとつになって･･･ どんな時でも 必死になって わからなくて 悩んで･･･ どれも大切なキオク･･･だ ・ か ・ ら かけがえのない そんな日々を･･･ きっと忘れない それぞれの未来 歩むとしても 歩いてゆこう 未来見つけよう 今から新しいスタート切って信じよう まっすぐに いつかの遠い未来まで･･･ 忘れないで･･･
