[English]

このまま 歩き続けてる

今夜も まっすぐ

一人の足跡 辿って

果てしない だけど君だけは

どこかで 待ってる

笑顔絶やさずに

There you will...

Be the one, Be the one

All right! 明日の地球を投げ出せないから

Be the light, Be the light

All right! 強くなれるよ 愛は負けない

何かを助け 救って抱きしめ

心に触れて 届くよ 伝われ

Be the one, Be the light

メッセージ 送るよ 響くよ...

Oh Be the one, Be the one

Be the light, light...

何より 大事な出来事 生きてる

今夜を 必ず前に進めなきゃいけない

昨日より 強さと優しさ

大人になってる

みんな感じてる

There you will...

Be the one, Be the one

We will... 必ず夜明けは 巡ってくるから

Be the light, Be the light

We will... 未来へ繋ごう 過去を労ろう

今を生きよう そして忘れない

奇跡と偶然 太陽と月

Be the one, Be the light

メッセージ 届くよ 刻むよ...

La la la...

You will be the one

You will be the one, yeah

Be the one, Be the one

We will make all you sight

You'll be the one

Be the light, Be the light

Will take darkness into brightness, yeah

Leading you into the light

Be the light

Oh you will be alive

Be the one, Be the one

You will be the one

We'll make a way

...

Key Grammar Structures

• このまま 歩き続けてる

  ➔ Compound verb: ~続ける (~tsuzukeru)

  ➔ This grammar point, `動詞stem + 続ける`, indicates that an action "continues to happen" or "keeps on doing" something. Here, 「歩き"続けてる"」 is a contracted form of 「歩き"続けている"」, meaning 'continuing to walk'.

• 笑顔絶やさずに

  ➔ Negative ~ずに (~zu ni)

  ➔ The `~ずに` form is an older or more formal equivalent of `~ないで (~naide)`, meaning 'without doing X'. Here, 「絶やさ"ずに"」 means 'without letting (smiles) cease/fade'.

• 明日の地球を投げ出せないから

  ➔ Negative Potential Form: ~せない (~senai)

  ➔ This is the negative potential form of a Godan verb (Group 1 verb). `投げ出す (nagedasu)` means 'to throw out/abandon'. The potential form is `投げ出せる (nagedaseru)`, meaning 'can abandon', and its negative is `投げ出さ"せない" (nagedasenai)`, meaning 'cannot abandon'.

• 心に触れて 届くよ 伝われ

  ➔ Imperative form: ~れ (~re)

  ➔ The `~れ` form is the imperative form for Godan verbs (Group 1 verbs). `伝わる (tsutawaru)` means 'to be conveyed/transmitted'. 「伝わ"れ"」 is a strong, direct command meaning 'Be conveyed!', 'Get through!', or 'Let it reach!'.

• 今夜を 必ず前に進めなきゃいけない

  ➔ Obligation: ~なきゃいけない (~nakya ikenai)

  ➔ This is a common contracted, more casual form of `~なければいけない (~nakereba ikenai)` or `~なくてはいけない (~nakute wa ikenai)`, expressing obligation or necessity: 'must do X' or 'have to do X'. Here, 「進め"なきゃいけない"」 means 'must advance'.

• 昨日より 強さと優しさ

  ➔ Particle: ~より (~yori)

  ➔ The particle `~より` is used for comparison, indicating 'than X'. In this context, 「昨日"より"」 means 'more than yesterday' (implying strength and kindness more than yesterday).

• 大人になってる

  ➔ Result of change: ~になる (~ni naru) + ~ている (~te iru)

  ➔ The structure `名詞/形容詞 + になる` indicates a change or transformation to a certain state or quality. When combined with `~ている`, as in 「なって"る"」 (contracted from `なっている`), it signifies a state that has been reached and continues, meaning 'has become X' or 'is becoming X'. Here, 'has become an adult'.

• 未来へ繋ごう 過去を労ろう

  ➔ Volitional form: ~よう (~you)

  ➔ The `~よう` form (or `~おう` for Godan verbs) is the volitional form, used to express the speaker's intention, make a suggestion, or propose an action. 「繋ご"う" (tsunagou)」 means 'Let's connect' and 「労ら"おう" (neginou/nekirou)」 means 'Let's comfort/appreciate'.

• 必ず夜明けは 巡ってくるから

  ➔ Compound verb: ~てくる (~te kuru)

  ➔ The compound verb `動詞て形 + くる` has several meanings, including action coming towards the speaker, a change happening over time, or the continuation of a state/action from the past to the present. Here, 「巡って"くる"」 implies that dawn 'will come around' or 'will arrive (to us)'.
