[English]

Running barefoot through the city

Slipping through the waves of people

I wonder how long it has been

I had long since lost my way

Before I knew it, just the two of us, my reflection smiles back

Where are we going? Anywhere

Crying, the moon shines

Fighting, to the place where the sun shines

When everything doesn't go well, it's always at those times

I felt like I could go even further

The rain sharpens my heart, from beyond that

Oh oh, the true heartbeat

A lake without a single wave

This mind is crystal clear

Standing at many crossroads

I had long since lost my way

Before I knew it, I was alone, the reflection smiles and says

Anywhere

Crying Crying Crying

The moon shines, Howling howling

And again, Fighting Fighting Fighting

I won't let go of that hand

Crying Crying Crying, over and over

The stars shine, Howling howling

And again, Fighting Fighting Fighting

To the place where the sun shines

When everything doesn't go well, it's always at those times

I believed I could go even further

In this world where there are no right or wrong answers now

Oh, let's ring out the true heartbeat

Cry & Fight

Running barefoot

[Japanese]

裸足のまま走る街

すり抜ける人の波

どれくらい経ったのだろう

とっくに迷いはなかった

気付けばまた2人 鏡に映る自分が笑う

何処に行く? 何処までも

Crying 月が光り

Fighting 太陽が照らす場所へ

全てが上手くいかない そんな時いつも

もっと遠くに行ける気がした

心を磨いていく雨 その向こうから

Oh oh 本当の鼓動

波一つない湖

澄み渡ったこのマインド

いくつもの岐路に立ち

とっくに迷いはなかった

気付けばもう1人 鏡に映った笑顔が言う

何処へでも

Crying Crying Crying

月が光り Howling howling

そしてまた Fighting Fighting Fighting

その手 離しはしない

何度も Crying Crying Crying

星は光り Howling howling

そしてまた Fighting Fighting Fighting

太陽が照らす場所へ

全てが上手くいかない そんな時いつも

もっと遠くに行けると信じた

正解も不正解もない この世界に今

Oh 鳴らそう 本当の鼓動

Cry & Fight

裸足のまま走る
