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
