Lyrics

Japanese

叶わぬ夢　震える指先に
落ちる　涙の痕

届かぬ声が　風に消されぬように
運んだ　遠い記憶

望まなかった　金色の空は
時を重ねて　視えたけれど

子供の頃に　描いてた日々は
まるで違う　虹色の花

寄り添う光と影
すれ違う過去と未来
重い扉を開き
明日を　変えてしまおう
光を探して…

Romaji

kanawanu yume furueru yubisaki ni
ochiru namida no ato

todokanu koe ga kaze ni kesarenu you ni
hakonda tooi kioku

nozoma nakatta kiniro no sora wa
toki wo kasanete mieta keredo

kodomo no goro ni egaiteta hibi wa
maru de chigau nijiiro no hana

yorisou hikari to kage
sure chigau kako to mirai
omoi tobira wo hiraki
ashita wo kaete shimaou
hikari wo sagashite...
