Japanese

交わした約束忘れないよ
目を閉じ確かめる
押し寄せた闇　振り払って進むよ

いつになったらなくした未来を
私ここでまた見ることできるの？

溢れ出した不安の影を何度でも裂いて
この世界歩んでこう

とめどなく刻まれた　時は今始まり告げ
変わらない思いをのせ
閉ざされた扉開けよう

目覚めた心は走り出した未来を描くため
難しい道で立ち止まっても
空はきれいな青さでいつも待っててくれる
だから怖くない
もう何があっても挫けない

振り返れば仲間がいて
気がつけば優しく包まれてた

何もかもが歪んだ世界で
唯一信じれるここが救いだった

喜びも悲しみもわけあえば強まる想い
この声が届くのなら
きっと奇跡はおこせるだろう

交わした約束忘れないよ
目を閉じ確かめる
押し寄せた闇　振り払って進むよ
どんなに大きな壁があっても
越えてみせるからきっと
明日信じて祈って

壊れた世界で彷徨って私は
引き寄せられるように辿り着いた

目覚めた心は走り出した未来を描くため
難しい道で立ち止まっても
空はきれいな青さでいつも待っててくれる
だから怖くない
もう何があっても挫けない

ずっと明日待って

English

I won't forget the promises we exchanged
I close my eyes to affirm it
I will shake off the overwhelming darkness to move forward

When will I ever be able
To see the lost future from here again?

Let's move forward in this world
By shattering the overflowing shadows of anxiety again and again

Time now begins to tick away incessantly
Let's open the closed door
While carrying our unchanging feelings

My heart awakes in order to depict the future
Even if I come to a halt on a tough road
The beautiful blue sky always waits for me
Therefore I'm not afraid
I won't be disheartened anymore no matter what happens

My friends were there when I looked back
They gave me a warm hug if they noticed

In the world where everything was distorted
This only trustable place was my salvation

Our feelings will be stronger by sharing our joy and sorrow
If my voice can reach you
I'm sure miracle will happen

I won't forget the promises we exchanged
I close my eyes to affirm it
I will shake off the overwhelming darkness to move forward
No matter how tall a wall there is
I will definitely cross over it
Pray for believing in tomorrow

While I was wandering in the collapsed world
I came to you as if I was drawn to you

My heart awakes in order to depict the future
Even if I come to a halt on a tough road
The beautiful blue sky always waits for me
Therefore I'm not afraid
I won't be disheartened anymore no matter what happens

Always look forward to tomorrow
