kagayaki takute mihatenu yume kyou mo mogaite hi ga kureru
輝きたくて 見果てぬ夢 今日ももがいて日が暮れる
The unfulfilled dream that desires to shine, even today, it struggles as night falls.
kaeri michi o terasu tsuki akari itsuka wa anna fuu ni nareru ka na
帰り道を照らす月明かり いつかはあんな風になれるかな
Moonlight shines on my way home. Just when did I become like that?
yowai kimochi ga denai youni mune tataita
弱い気持ちが出ないように 胸叩いた
I rapped on my heart, so any weakness wouldn't show.
sozou no mukougawa tadoritsuku tameni hashitte nagashita ase to namida
想像の向こう側辿り着くために 走って流した汗と涙
In order to reach the other side of my imagination, the sweat and tears shed as I ran.
chikazuku hodo ni mada hanareteku keredo itsu made mo oitsuzuketeitai
近づく程にまた、離れてくけれど いつまでも追い続けていたい
As I get nearer, I would get separated from it again, but I'll always want to be chasing after it.
akogare dake ja totemo tarinakute hisshi ni oikaketa senaka
憧れだけじゃとても足りなくて 必死に追いかけた背中
Yearning alone is not enough at all, for the back of that someone I'm desperately running after.
koboreta namida kawaku sono mae ni kono te nobashite mada motto saki e
こぼれた涙 乾くその前に この手伸ばして まだもっと先へ
Before these overflowing tears dry up, let me reach out this hand and go further onwards.
jibun no yowasa mitakunakute tekidou ni nige tsuzuketa hibi
自分の弱さ 見たくなくて 適当に逃げ続けた日々
Not wanting to see my own weakness, the days I kept running away half-heartedly,
kaerimichi mo doko ka shiraketeita raku ni nareru sore nano ni doushite
帰り道もどこか白けていた 楽になれる それなのにどうして
I grew apathetic even to where my way home was. I can feel at ease, yet why,
konna ni kurishii kimochi ni naru samishiku naru
こんなに苦しい気持ちになる? 寂しくなる?
why does it become so painful? why do I become so lonely?
hontou wa s***teita kiyou janai kara jibun ni uso wa tsukenai koto
本当は知っていた 器用じゃ無いから 自分に嘘はつけないこと
The truth was that I knew that I wasn't skilful at lying, so I shouldn't tell lies to myself.
sutesarou toshite mo sutekirenai yume sore koso ga boku jishin dakara
捨て去ろうとしても捨て切れない夢 それこそが僕自身だから
The dream that I wanted to cast away completely but couldn't, is exactly what makes me the person that I am.
omokage dake ja totemo tarinakute ashita mo yume dakishimetai
面影だけじゃとても足りなくて 明日も夢抱きしめたい
Traces alone are not enough at all, I want to embrace this dream tomorrow still.
tomadou kokoro yowasa o mitomete b**i daseta nara doko datte ikeru
戸惑う心 弱さを認めて 踏み出せたなら 何処だって行ける
If my bewildered heart is able to take that step out to recognise my weakness, then going anywhere wouldn't be a problem.
shinka no hantai wa taika suru koto janaku ugokazu tada tachidomatteru koto
進化の反対は 退化することじゃなく 動かず、ただ立ち止まってること
The opposite of progression is not retrogression, but rather the act of not moving, just caught in a standstill.
umareta toki kara koronde naki wa meite sore demo kao o age susundeta
生まれた時から 転んで泣きわめいて それでも顔を上げ進んでた
Since the time we were born, we bawl when we fall. Despite that, we lifted our heads and moved forward.
jounetsu dake ja totemo tarinakute nandomo yozora o miageta
情熱だけじゃとても足りなくて 何度も夜空を見上げた
Passion alone is not enough at all, as I looked up to the night sky countless times.
koboshita namida muda ni wa shinai to terashita tsuki ni chikatta
こぼした涙 無駄にはしないと 照らした月に 誓った
I vowed to the moon that shone, that I would not let the tears that spilled be for nothing.
akogare dake ja totemo tarinakute hisshi ni oikaketa senaka
憧れだけじゃとても足りなくて 必死に追いかけた背中
Yearning alone is not enough at all, for the back of that someone I'm desperately running after.
koboreta namida kawaku sono mae ni kono te nobashite mada motto saki e
こぼれた涙 乾くその前に この手伸ばして まだもっと先へ
Before these overflowing tears dry up, let me reach out this hand and go further onwards.
mada motto saki e to...
まだもっと先へと...
To somewhere further ahead...
