[English]

With a hoarse voice, I have no words to shout

I just withdrew from that shadow

Breathless, I have no words to exchange

I simply smiled and quietly closed my eyes

Help me, God

If you are within me

Never leave this place again

Don't go away

But it was always me who left

You were always by my side

I'm back, morning sun

Welcome back, evening sun

Finally, we begin to turn together

I'm glad to have met you

Finally, I am free

Tears have started to shine

Tomorrow will bring goodbye

Ah, what a fleeting world

No matter what happens

Everything is yours

grace

The days I couldn't breathe, filled with fear, are far away

I sent them flying to the distant sky

Now I'm invincible

You are me, and I am you

Since the moment I realized we are all the same

We

All shine equally

What can I do?

If I follow love

There’s nothing I can’t do

I’ve been searching in the outside world

The truth is always in my heart

Sorry for making you wait

Thank you always

I will come to see you

Let’s become one

一つになろう

I'm glad to have met you

Finally, I am free

Tears have started to shine

Tomorrow will bring goodbye

Ah, what a fleeting world

No matter what happens

Everything is your grace

No matter what happens

Everything is my

grace

[Japanese]

声を枯らして 叫ぶ言葉もなくて

私はただ身を引いた あの陰から

息を切らして 交わす言葉もなくて

私はただ微笑んだ 静かに目を閉じた

助けて神様

私の中にいるなら

二度とこの場所を

離れないで

だけど去るのはいつも私だった

あなたはいつも側にいてくれた

ただいま朝日

おかえり夕日

やっと共に 廻り始める

あたしに会えて良かった

やっと自由になった

涙も輝き始めた

明日になればさよなら

ああ儚い世界だ

何があろうとも

全てあなたの

grace

息もできずに 怯えた日々は遥か

彼方の空へ飛ばした

今や無敵

あなたはわたし わたしはあなた

みんな同じと気付いた時から

僕らは

みな等しく光ってる

何ができるかな

愛に従うのならば

出来ないことなど

何もないさ

外の世界にずっと探してた

真実はいつもこの胸の中

待たせてごめん

いつもありがと

会いにいくよ

一つになろう

あたしに会えて良かった

やっと自由になった

涙も輝き始めた

明日になればさよなら

ああ儚い世界だ

何があろうとも

すべてあなたのgrace

何があろうとも

すべてあたしの

grace
