Handle it with light

途方もない暮れに別れを告げる

Bidding farewell to an endless dusk

確かな声を聴け

Listen to the certain voice

Stand up and get a start

Stand up and get a start

Can take shivers of your scar

Will longing someday fade away?

Raise your hands up to the sky

Raise your hands up to the sky

Unprotected breaths bring the rain

Hug each other tight

Hug each other tight

If the day comes when we can rejoice together

Stand up and get a start

Stand up and get a start

Can take shivers of your scar

Can take shivers of your scar

爪先立ちして覗いていたレンズのその先に

On tiptoes, peeking beyond the lens

If it changes from here

Rewrite the codes of memories
